Template:Mufi
There is a template that enables the use of MUFI fonts on wikipedia. Note that it should be used sparingly because these fonts are not widespread at all and because that template is overwritten if one specifies one's browser to use a specific default font. Anyway, here it is: Template:Mufi. ― j. 'mach' wust | ✑ 23:23, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
- Since I’ve overlooked this one, I created Template:MUFI which does the same thing. They‘ve now been merged using the uppercase name. — Christoph Päper 11:40, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
Entities
What is the "entity" column? They look like they're meant to be HTML character entities, but AIUI the list of character entities is specified in the HTML DTD and isn't defined in the charset. What gives? — Gwalla | Talk 20:56, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- They’re more generic SGML / XML entity names defined by MUFI to be used in TEI or some such.
I’m not sure they actually provide a DTD.The associated Menota project has a DTD. — Christoph Päper 11:52, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
LeedsUni
Can somebody please explain/clarify this statement: "LeedsUni supports all of MUFI 2.0." The context implies that "LeedsUni" is some kind of font; but the link just leads to Leeds University. GrindtXX (talk) 10:25, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- It is a font indeed, see the MUFI Font Page and the author’s homepage (at Leeds University). It doesn’t seem to have a Wikipedia article yet. — Christoph Päper 16:29, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. In that case, though, the Leeds University link is quite inappropriate, so I'm redlinking it. GrindtXX (talk) 21:30, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
I brought this up at Talk:Dagger_(typography)#Triple_dagger but realized the F1D2 listed at http://skaldic.abdn.ac.uk/m.php?p=muficharinfo&i=5144 is related to here.
Are we able to generate this character on Wikipedia? I am able to view it just fine on PDFs but when I copy them and paste them here they display differently.
The one listed above with the rounded edges appears on page 2 of http://folk.uib.no/hnooh/mufi/proposals/n4704-medieval-punct.pdf as you can see in this line:
- ⹙ 2E59 TRIPLE DAGGER
also...
- ⊖ ⁄ triple dagger (from Medieval)
Page 7 of http://folk.uib.no/hnooh/mufi/pipeline/proposals/MUFIEingabeSSRQ-2011.pdf depicts the above line which shows a simpler line-based (not thick rounded edges) version. ScratchMarshall (talk) 20:20, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
