I am a native Hellenic (not Greek please. This was the name given to Hellas after the Roman conquest in a masterstroke of psychological warfare to underline the fact that the decadent and weak inhabitants of Hellas of their time had nothing to do with the Hellenes of the past, but must have been the descendants of a backward tribe inhabiting the valley of Achelloos river the Graeci (see Suidas lemma Graikoi). The same thing was done to the Jews when Judea was renamed Palestine after the Philistines, the archrivals of the Jewish nation and Jerusalem Aelia Capitolina) speaker and writer and I would very much like to use the font in an easier way very much like the Old Vusillus font or other Hellenic fonts available.

The work on this font must go on and the end result must be a font that can be used in a cursory way with utilities included such as a document template and a small program that will enable the user to construct his/her own correspondence table.

The font is much too beautiful to be set aside because of ease of use problems.

Erroso filtate,

The old Beta-code you refer to is dead now. Unicode and Open Type are now widely used. I really cannot fathom why you did this, but to each their own I guess. But if your goal is for the font to gain “a modest distribution and not be a mere curiosity,” as you claim, you’ll need to modernize it and use proper Unicode and OTF tables.

However, your PDF is very useful for deciphering ligatures. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for making and distributing this font. It helped me a lot in deciphering several ligatures I found in a 17th century Greek book.

Kind regards,
