_a e i o u (UNICODE) __________________________________________ ... was created by Pia Frauss in 2007, with High-Logic's FontCreator program, and updated in 2010. You have downloaded version 1.10 (completed in 2010). I hope you'll enjoy this font. The _a e i o u font is based on a charter issued in 1460 by the German emperor Friedrich/Frederick III. It has been called '_a e i o u', because Frederick used to have marked all objects of value he possessed -- or got made -- with the five vowels (and the font's underscore contains Frederick's typical underline stroke: the mark wouldn't be genuine without that). _a e i o u is free for private use. For commercial use, please visit my "Conditions of Use" page at http://www.pia-frauss.de/imp/cu.htm As usual, the number sign in this font has been replaced with a long s. The other special characters are: -an alternate *k* on the 'less than' sign, and -an alternate *K* on the 'greater than' sign Those have been made necessary by the regular *K* and *k* taking too much room -- looking rather messy in such important sentences like 'Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz'. -an alternate *r* on the left bracket -an alternate *d* on the right bracket -a swashed *m* on the left curly bracket -a swashed *n* on the right curly bracket -a swash from the document on the ASCII tilde -a swashed *h* on the bar and broken bar sign -an alternate *f* on the masculine ordinal indicator -a *long s*+*t* ligature on the long s sign. The coat of arms contained in this font is based on the painting in the document. UPDATE 2010 has redesigned all of the composite glyphs (correcting the *dcaron*, *L/lcaron*, and *tcaron*), and enlarged the dashes. _________________________________ Disclaimer: 1.
