Welcome to Sinaiticus, a typeface designed to resemble the Greek uncial script used in the early manuscript codices of the Greek New Testament. It will have limited appeal, I admit; but it is irreplaceable for someone who wants such a thing. It includes only upper-case letters in the keyboard layout corresponding to Linguist Software’s SuperGreek/LaserGreek, and to Harper Electronic Publishing’s Alexandria. There are also several ligatures for the nomina sacra (theos, uios, Iesous, Christos) in their various cases. The letterforms are handsome (if I do say so myself); the package might be useful even if you don’t read Greek.
The shareware fee is a scant $5. (Actually, any kind of $5 will do.)
I am releasing this package to America Online only. You may upload this package to other bulletin boards and user groups, pass it out to your friends, so long as the package includes this shareware notice and no fee greater than $5 is charged for the “copying fee.”
