[edit] Code2001
Code2001's site is down and you cannot download font...
[edit] WTF?
I have officially downloaded all the fonts presented here. They have all done one or more of the following: A. Not included gothic coding or letters, B. Included gothic coding but instead of letters gave me something resembling a 4-leaf clover, or C. Included the letters and coding but were corrupted somehow.
- Dear previous writer, I'm the author of the fonts Ulfilas, Midjungards and Skeirs, and I assume, that it's these fonts which you mean with beeing corrupted. Indeed there was a mistake in the naming table that caused an error message and that is now fixed. Now they should work!
- If you're still discovering 4-leaf clovers, try out the instructions described under "Setting Windows Up".

[edit] Code2001 again
Doesn't work. I just downloaded it and installed, it works in the Office, but not in the browsers. (Neither Opera nor FF or IE.) Same with Ulfilas. Works well in Office, but not in the browsers. --139.18.197.34 22:32, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- I've had good luck with Skeirs, but not all computers support the high Unicode range used by Gothic. Gothic fonts should work on versions of XP that aren't labelled "home" - Mediacenter and Professional both should work. Windows Vista should work too. --Jacques Pirat 00:20, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- I've got XP but can't see Gothic correctly. That's why I use Mozilla. No problems there with Gothic fonts. Regards --Manie 12:37, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Update
I've just made some modifications to all of my fonts:
- The metrics of the combining diaeresis are fixed.
- The I with diaeresis (οͺ) is now additionally at the same place as in Code2001 (it has already been included before).
The italic, bold and bold-italic styles of Skeirs are no longer supported, as most of the programmes are nevertheless able to render the typeface italic, bold etc.
I'm planning to add a Runic range to the font Skeirs.

[edit] Runic
Dear friends of the Gothic language,
It's a pleasure for me to give you notice that I've just added a Runic range to the font Skeirs.
Best Regards, π·πππΈπ±π°πΉππ·π 19:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Great! I'll try and test it out. Some other Runic fonts I've seen seem to appear too thin and small on the pages. Maybe this one will be just right. If not, well. I've got a nice new addition to my font collection. --Jacques Pirat 23:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

- I think I know what you mean; I've been a little surprised myself how small the runic glyphs appear, although they have exactly the same height as the capital ulfilan letters. Perhaps I'll make a new version of it. π·πππΈπ±π°πΉππ·π 19:36, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- I haven't seen your Runic characters in action yet, but I do have a suggestion for you: It seems that you coded skeirs to have Gothic characters in the Latin section. That's good for typing on image editors that can't take in gothic characters, but it's bad when you're browsing the web. There also seems to be a problem with text not rendering well - overlapping and such. It's due to Vulcanius, I believe, but I have to check, first. --Jacques Pirat 00:36, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well, at my computer neither the one nor the other problem appears. But as I originally designed Skeirs exclusively for use in browsers, I'll indeed think of removing the latin mapping. π·πππΈπ±π°πΉππ·π 08:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I've just enlarged the Runes; now the use the full heigt from the upper line down to the descender (As π or π ). (See here: http://www.robert-pfeffer.gmxhome.de/gotisch/skeirs_eng.html.)
