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.
Malcolm
