How To Install fonts-joscelyn on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install fonts-joscelyn on Debian 12.
What is fonts-joscelyn
fonts-joscelyn is:
The Joscelyn font is named for John Joscelyn (1529-1604), secretary to Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1559 to 1575. Among the first Englishmen to recover the ability to read the Old English language, Joscelyn compiled an Old English dictionary, contributed to Parker’s published works, and wrote Historiola Collegii Corporis Christi, a short history of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, Parker’s college.
This font is based on the elegant hand of a scribe who produced the copy of Joscelyn’s Historiola in MS Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, 488. It is, as far as known, the only attempt to produce an accurate and uncompromising reproduction of the notoriously difficult Renaissance secretary hand in a digital font, using OpenType features to represent the cursive and highly variable character of the hand.
To use this font, you must make sure that two OpenType features are turned on in your software: Contextual Alternates (calt) and Standard Ligatures (liga).
