Medievalist supplement is a character suite used at DP. It has characters to give us more full proofing support for books that contain transcription, analysis and discussion of medieval writings, using languages such as:
- Middle English
- Old English/Anglo-Saxon
- Old Norse/Old Icelandic
- Medieval Latin
Note that some of the more obscure characters in this group will not display in standard fonts, and have no glyph in DejaVu Sans Mono. They are marked with a *. If they are used in a book, Project Managers should include a warning that all characters may not display correctly unless our custom proofreading font is used. Also note that two of the those characters are customized in DP Sans Mono to appear like they do in books we work on, rather than how they look in most other fonts.
