[comp.fonts] Old German script in WordPerfect?

jlhg0793@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (Joseph Herl) (05/31/91)

I have just discovered this newsgroup, so my apologies if this question
has been answered recently, or if the answer should be obvious.

I'm using WordPerfect 5.1 on a 386SX, and I'd like to find a relatively
inexpensive way to create characters I will need to transcribe seventeenth-
century German manuscripts, including vowels with superscripted "e", "m"
and "n" with tilde, a real "sz", and so on.

The salesman I spoke with a few weeks ago at WordPerfect Corporation said
that their own font package will change the fonts on the screen only, not
on printed output (which is what I want), and he had no suggestions for
other font packages.

Any recommendations?
