I am producing a font which I have named Quest text.
I have uploaded what I have produced so far to the web.
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/QUEST043.TTF
As well as hopefully being useful with applications in English, the font has
various niche font capabilities not found in many fonts. I hope that I have
included a complete set of characters for Old English and Middle English.
The font also contains accented characters for Esperanto and German.
The spaces from U+2000 through to U+200B are all included and there are
glyphs for U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER and U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER.
There are also a number of ligatures in the font. These are the seven
ligatures from regular Unicode, U+FB00 through to U+FB06, together with some
others in the Private Use Area. Those in the Private Use Area follow the
encodings in the pages introduced and indexed as follows.
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/golden.htm
Only some of the ligatures in those pages are implemented as yet.
In addition, there is the abbreviation used for thaet in Old English at
U+E75F, decimal 59231, within the Private Use Area.
Feedback is welcome please, as are suggestions and requests for additional
characters to be added into the Quest text font as this art project
proceeds.
