Welcome to Junicode-New Discussions!

Since JuniusX/JuniusVF is more than usually complex, as fonts go, I've activated this discussion forum, where you can get answers to your questions about how to access its many characters, how to use its OpenType features, and more.

To acquaint yourself with the font, I'd suggest visiting the specimen page, and if you're thinking of using it in a web page, my little essay about searchable and accessible text.

This is also the appropriate place to ask questions like “when will the italic be done,” “when will there be a release,” “how do I subset this monster for my web page,” and “how do I make this work in MS Word?”

If you want to request a feature or report a bug, please open an issue.

Thank you, Peter; this is such a wonderfully useful project! If you're offering, I for one would be interested to know more about your plans – the italic will be wonderful, and I'm crossing my fingers that it might even be possible to have optical versions for different sizes as you did for Elstob. No pressure, of course; you're already improving the state of the art.

Thanks, Andrew. Work on the italic outlines is now approximately 67% complete, and I hope to have it finished before the end of 2021. Sorry, there will be no optical size axis for JuniusX/JuniusVF—unless a younger and much more energetic designer decides to get involved. The project of designing new optical size masters for a font nearly four times the size of Elstob is simply too daunting.
