Title: How may I insert words encoded in Voynich fonts?
Post by: milton63 on March 10, 2022, 10:15:44 AM

I have been using Voynich fonts in articles and would like to use them in my posts here. Does anybody know how to do it? Those font faces are my own creation and no problem people using it freely. I believe that seeing Voynich letters as it is in the text would give more direct insights.

I don't believe there's any way to embed a custom font in the forum software. You could of course use images, but that would be limiting.

(In principle, additional characters could eventually be added to standard unicode so they could be used anywhere, but that would take years of procedural steps, and I believe that anticipated general usage is required, rather than just usage in a historical manuscript.)
