Two examples of particularly problematic Ogham texts are shown below. Representing these Ogham texts accurately is impossible using a generic Ogham font, but by using the BabelStone Ogham Pictish and BabelStone Ogham Special fonts it is possible to render Pictish Ogham texts with glyph forms that closely match those used in the actual inscriptions.
Pictish Ogham inscriptions are written using a variety of styles of Ogham lettering, and many include unusual letters such as "Hammerhead A" and "Rabbit-eared D" that may be insignificant glyph variants or may indicate phonetic distinctions. This font is not intended to be used on its own, but as a source of special glyph forms for certain letters when used in conjunction with BabelStone Ogham Pictish. Same as BabelStone Ogham Pictish Regular, but has some rare glyph forms: S-shaped A, Rabbit-eared D, Diagonal I, S-shaped M-series letters, and disjoined letter Eabhadh. No bind letters, angled B-series and H-series letters, angled vowel letters.īind letters, straight B-series and H-series letters, straight vowel letters, X-shaped P, hammerhead A.īind letters, angled B-series and H-series letters, angled vowel letters, X-shaped P. Regular style has no bind letters, straight B-series and H-series letters, straight vowel letters. This allows the user to select a different style of Ogham letters by simply changing the font style.
The font comprises Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold-Italic versions which are not actually bold and/or italic but have different styles of letters (bold for bind letters italic for directionally-angled letters). Stemline font based on the styles of Ogham letters found on the Ogham stone inscriptions from the Pictish areas of Scotland (eastern coast of Scotland, Orkney Isles, and Shetland Isles). Stemline font with bold strokes and dot-shaped vowel letters, emulating the style of letters found on classic Ogham pillar stones. Stemless font with dot-shaped vowel letters. The same, but with directionally-angled B-series and H-series letters, and directionally-angled vowel letters. The same, but with directionally-angled B-series and H-series letters. General-purpose stemline font with manuscript-style glyph forms. These fonts do not map Ogham glyphs to Latin letters like most fonts, but use the special Ogham characters defined in the Unicode Standard (see How to Input Unicode Ogham below for more information). These are a set of twelve Unicode Ogham fonts in seven font families, representing a variety of different styles of Ogham letters found in manuscripts and on Ogham stone inscriptions.
