A page of the Fonts Special Interest Group

Work in progress
Please ignore this page for the time being. I have prepared the font package and I am a member of the packagers' group. As soon as I have everything ready, I will submit a formal package review request.


A font based on Victor Julius Scholderer's "New Hellenic"


Description

Aroania is a modern recast of Victor Scholderer's "New Hellenic" font, on the basis of Verdana. In 1927, Victor Julius Scholderer (1880󿀄1971), on behalf of the "Society for the Promotion of Greek Studies", got involved in choosing and consulting the design and production of a Greek type called "New Hellenic", cut by the Lanston Monotype Corporation. He chose the revival of a round, and almost monoline type which had first appeared in 1492 in the edition of Macrobius, ascribable to the printing shop of Giovanni Rosso (Joannes Rubeus) in Venice.

The font covers the Windows Glyph List, IPA Extensions, Greek Extended, Ancient Greek Numbers, Byzantine and Ancient Greek Musical Notation, various typographic extras and several Open Type features (Case-Sensitive Forms, Small Capitals, Subscript, Superscript, Numerators, Denominators, Fractions, Old Style Figures, Historical Forms, Stylistic Alternates, Ligatures).

It was created by George Douros.

Caveats

  1. Aroania (along with Anaktoria and Asea) is packaged nowadays along with Alexander as "TextFonts". Perhaps we should consider a name change in the future.
  2. fontlint finds a few errors, but most likely that is due to the program not being up to speed with Unicode 7.x and to some features of the font.
  3. The font covers Cyrillic by 41.41% (as reported by unicover).


Additional information

There is a character repertoire preview of Aroania (and the other TextFonts fonts) at the project's homepage [1].
