Klaus-Peter Schaeffel 2009-2010. Greek Hand (according to Wattenbach vetustissima) after a 9th century Theophanes manuscript. The font was initially made for some props used in the Pope Joan movie. The font viewer and text programs without Open Type support only show a 9th century Latin Carolingian hand; if Stylistic Set 19 is on, the Greek forms can be typed phonetically on the Latin keyboard ( or for eta; u, or y for ypsilon, w or for omega, ch or kh for chi, ph for phi, ps for psi, th for theta). If, in addition, the discretionary ligatures are on, all spirits and accents can be inserted by numbers following to the main character, for instance a1 = alpha akut. The codes are 1 acute, 2 gravis, 3 circumflex, 4 iota sub- or adscriptum, 5 short vowel, 6 long vowel, 7 tonos, 8 spiritus asper, 9 spiritus lenis, 0 dieresis. Combined accents can be inserted by typing two or three digits (first the main character, then the code in the order spirit, accent, eventual iota sub- or adscriptum. Exemple: a81 is alpha asper acute, 934 is eta lenis circumflex with iota subscriptum). The final s is inserted automatically, as well as some ligatures.
