At the LEFT you see a normal digital text. To make this text
special fonts were used:
"Schwaben Alt", "Kelt" & "Arial Unicode MS"
. So you can compare both texts and
if you see differences, than you do NOT have the fonts, that were mentioned here. The original text was used to make the text at the LEFT. The Fonts you need - for almost every language script - are available at this site |
