Re: CTAN submission --- bundle of 8 bookhand fonts

Peter Wilson writes:

I have uploaded 9 files to UK incoming. They are all under the

LPPL. Please:

o Move contents of bookhands.tar.gz into fonts/bookhands.

o For each of the 8 files, move them to fonts/bookhands and untar there to create new subdirectories: carolmin.tar, egothic.tar, humanist.tar, inslrmin.tar, pgothic.tar, rotunda.tar, sqrcaps.tar, and tgothic.tar.

This distribution completes my planned set of bookhand

(METAFONT) fonts and packages covering manuscript scripts from the 1st century until Guthenberg and Caxton. The new hands are: o Square Capitals 1st century onwards (sqrcaps) o Insular Minuscule 6th cenury onward (inslrmin) o Carolingian Minuscule 8-12th century (carolmin) o Early Gothic 11-12th century (egothic) o Gothic Textura Quadrata 13-15th century (tgothic) o Gothic Textura Prescius 13th onward (pgothic) o Rotunda 13-15th century (rotunda) o Humanist Minuscule 14th onward (humanist).

The existing set includes:

o Roman Rustic 1st to 6th century o Uncial 3-6th o Half Uncial 3-9th o Artificial Uncial 6-10th o Insular Majuscule 6-9th

The file bsamples.ps in bookhands.tar.gz shows examples of each

of the fonts.

installed as requested (in the spirit, if not the letter -- we don't unpack things direct into the archive), and set to propagate. thanks for the uploads.
