While it seems to me that it is not all too fitting for Old Church Slavonic, for the moment, this will suffice. Is there any (unicode) font available for typesetting OCS? E.g., could the Hiptex fonts be used? Again, thanks a lot for your kind advice, Ruprecht On Tuesday 01 July 2008, Ruprecht von Waldenfels wrote: > > One problem remains, however: the strange shape of the yat, with a > small hachek on top of it. Is there any way to remedy this? That's a correct shape for a Cyrillic ascender, which BTW was much more common in pre-1917 printing than Latin-styled ascenders with a serif at the left side. The lowercase Cyrillic "f" also often has its ascender and descender designed in this style. -- Regards, Alexej Kryukov Moscow State University Historical Faculty -- GMX startet ShortView.de.
