The subject line says it all---I'm looking for some Syriac fonts for a theologian/ancient historian friend of mine. I know it's a rather forlorn hope but I thought I'd see if anyone out there knew of where I could get such a font. I've never created anything new with Metafont before, and I believe Syriac would be fairly difficult---the fact that many letters have to be joined up would seem to imply lots of ligatures. However, starting from scratch might be a fun time-waster for me, if necessary. Has anyone seen anything like it before? Any advice would be most welcome.
