Subject: Latin abbreviation font
I am looking for a font that has the standard abbreviations used in
medieval writing systems that use the Latin alphabet, e.g., p with a bar
through the tail, all letters of the alphabet with a superimposed
abbreviation bar, the Tironian note, -ur, -us, and -rum signs, etc.
These are the sorts of things that one used to see in the old-fashinoned
catalogues of incunabula that attempted to offer type facsimiles.
Many thanks,
