Croatian Glagolitic fonts

1. TeX fonts

• Croatian Glagolitic (round, angular, Baska Tablet, quickscript, about 60 ligatures, Baromic broken ligatures, calligraphic letters)
• Croatian Cyrillic
• stechak ornaments
• Croatian interlace patterns

This package is also on the following sites:

• CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network), or at
• University of Heidelberg mirror (Germany) of the CTAN archive. The fonts are described in my paper
  • Darko Zubrinic: Croatian fonts [PDF], TUGboat, Vol 17, No 1, March 1996.
  • Darko Zubrinic: Croatian Fonts for Users of LaTeX [PDF], [LaTeX source file] (5 pp), 2010. This is an expanded and corrected version of the above 1996 paper. You should have installed Croatian metafont files at CTAN (note for users of MIKTeX: you automatically have all these fonts on your computer if you installed the full version of MIKTeX). From the LaTeX source file you will see how the Croatian fonts are used.
  • Darko Zubrinic: Minimal Article with Croatian Fonts for Users of LaTeX [PDF], [LaTeX source file] (1 p), 2010.

  There exist as many as 53 mirror sites of CTAN archive in 27 countries throughout the world!

Similarly you can also find closest mirror sites for many other languages (updated in 1997).

Unicode Croatian Glagolitic

APPEAL: It would be of interest to create a set of some 15 to 20 different true-type fonts for windows corresponding to various important Croatian glagolitic documents of very different styles (triangular, round, angular, quickscript). Until now we have only several. For the Croatian cyrillic we have none.
