Version 2.200

[psb1558]

I have just released Junicode version 2.200. This version addresses various issues (raised on this site), and it also inaugurates a long-term program of adding glyphs for the benefit of the Ansund HTR (Handwritten Text Recognition) project, which is developing tools for the automated reading of medieval manuscripts. Of the additions made so far, the ones likely to be of greatest interest to users are two series of medieval capitals, available via features ss11[1] and ss11[2]. The first series consists of rustic capitals, often used for text in late ancient and early medieval times and for rubrics (headings) in the central Middle Ages. The second consists of Lombardic capitals, used in the central and later Middle Ages for what are now called drop caps. These capitals are designed to harmonize with Junicode to the greatest degree possible while remaining faithful to the medieval sources.
