<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Some time ago, in a message to the Siouan list, Constantine Xmelnickii recommended a new Unicode font available from the University of Frankfurt. Since I now have an XP machine that automatically supports Unicode, I finally got around to downloading the font. It does indeed contain every symbol I could conceivably use in Siouan linguistics, or any other language for that matter. It also includes a large variety of foreign alphabets, among them Cyrillic (all variants), Greek (all variants), Georgian, Arabic, Japanese, Ethiopic, Armenian and others, plus the entire IPA. It is so inclusive that you might have trouble locating a particular symbol in all the variety. It's certainly worth downloading (it's free), and at some point we may be able to shift to using it on the Siouan list (although for the moment, I don't know if things like Unix mailers, etc. are compatible). The URL for the font is: </FONT><A HREF="http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/indexe.htm"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/indexe.htm</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> . Look along the right hand side of the display for "fonts" and click. It will give you instructions for downloading for either PC or MAC.</FONT></P>
