Font »Vinodolski Zakon«

Comparison of the letter forms of the font with some original letters from the Law Codex of Vinodol

For the capital letters I used the common known forms, because the Law Codex of Vinodol is mostly written with small letters. The handful of capital letters were not enough to be an example for the capital letters. The capital letters were fitted to the characteristics of the small letters, to achieve a harmonious optical impression.

The font contains a lots of ligatures, furthermore it contains some letter combinations as opentype features to reproduce a correct glagolitic spelling. These automatic caused changings works only since Microsoft Office version 2010. Older MS office versions do not provide ligature features, but you can insert all ligatures manually in the text.

The font “Vinodolski Zakon” uses the Unicode tables for Latin letters as well as for Glagolitic letters. The block for Unicode Latin is occupied with Glagolitic characters, to enable a direct conversion from Latin into Glagolitic.

Letters in Latin alphabetic order	Letters in the Glagolitic order

In October 2011 an arrangement was made, that for the Latin letters Q,W and X new Glagolitic letters have to be created, to eliminate the difficulties with the transfer of a Latin text into Glagolitic. These new graphemes are also included in the font “Vinodolski Zakon”.
