[The following taken with thanks from FICINO. The font may be downloaded
from <http://orathost.cfa.ilstu.edu/shakespeare/ISFfont.html>; it appears
to work, although not all ligatures one might expect are there. A
curiosity. --WM]

Last spring, I downloaded a font based on the Shakespeare First Folio from
the Illinois Shakespeare Festival site:

Don't want to be an ingrate, but it wasn't working perfectly at the time
(a few problems with ligatures and capitals, I recall); maybe these have
been ironed out by now. In any case, it was free...
