% of the Runic abecedary. The font follows the Anglo-Saxon abecedary.

% \section{Introduction}
%
% The Runic alphabet and characters was in fairly common use in Europe, 
% particularly in the Germanic, Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon countries
% until the Middle Ages. 
% The font presented here follows the Anglo-Saxon abecedary.
%
%    This is one of a series of fonts intended to show how the Latin alphabet has
% changed from its original Phoenician form to its present day appearance.
% 
% This manual is typeset according to the conventions of the
% \LaTeX{} \textsc{docstrip} utility which enables the automatic
% extraction of the \LaTeX{} macro source files~\cite{GOOSSENS94}.
%
%    Section~\ref{sec:usc} describes the usage of the package.
% Commented code for the font and package may be in later sections.
%
% \subsection{An alphabetic tree}
%
%    Scholars are reasonably agreed that all the world's alphabets are descended
% from a Semitic alphabet invented about 1600~\BC{} in the Middle 
% East~\cite{DRUCKER95}. The word `Semitic' refers
% to the family of languages used in the geographical area from
% Sinai in the south, up the Mediterranean coast to Asia Minor in the north and
% west to the valley of the Euphrates.
%
%    The Phoenician alphabet was stable by about 1100~\BC{} and the script was
% written right to left. In earlier times the writing direction was variable, 
% and so were
% the shapes and orientation of the characters. The alphabet consisted of
% 22 letters and they were named after things. For example, their first two 
% letters were called \textit{aleph} (ox), and \textit{beth} (house). 
% The Phoenician script had
% only one case --- unlike our modern fonts which have both upper- and 
% lower-cases. In modern day terms, the Phoenician abecedary was: \\
% A B G D E Y Z H $\Theta$ I K L M N X O P ts Q R S T \\
% where the `Y' (\textit{vau}) character was sometimes written as `F', and
% `ts' stands for the \textit{tsade} character.
%
%    The Greek alphabet is one of the descendants of the Phoenician alphabet;
% another was Aramaic which is the ancestor of the Arabic, Persian and Indian 
% scripts.
% Initially Greek was written right to left but around the 6th C~\BC{} became 
% \textit{boustrophedron}, meaning that the lines 
% alternated in direction. At about 500~\BC{} the writing direction stabilised 
% as left to 
% right. The Greeks modified the Phoenician alphabet to match the vocalisation
% of their language. They kept the Phoenician names of the letters, suitably
% `greekified', so \textit{aleph} became the familar \textit{alpha} and 
% \textit{beth} became \textit{beta}. At this
% point the names of the letters had no meaning. Their were several variants
% of the Greek character glyphs until they were finally fixed in Athens in
% 403~\BC.
% The Greeks did not develop a lower-case 
% script until about 600--700~\AD.
%
%    The Etruscans based their alphabet on the Greek one, and again modified it.
% However, the Etruscans wrote right to left, so their borrowed characters are 
% mirror images of the original Greek ones. Like the Phoenicians, the Etruscan
% script consisted of only one case; they died out before ever needing a
% lower-case script. The Etruscan script was used up until the first century 
% \AD, even though the Etruscans themselves had dissapeared by that time.
% 
%
%    In turn, the Romans based their alphabet on the Etruscan one, but as they 
% wrote left to right, the characters were again mirrored (although the early
% Roman inscriptions are boustrophedron). 
%
%    As the English alphabet is descended from the Roman alphabet
% it has a pedigree of some three and a half thousand years.
%
% \section{The \Lpack{runic} package} \label{sec:usc}
%
%    There are three major versions of the Runic script, known as \textit{futharc}
% after the initial letters of its abecedary, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and
% Scandinavian. Scholars are unclear about the genealogy of the script, but there
% are some obvious relationships betyween some of the futharc glyphs and the
% Phoenecian glyphs. Some other letters, such as the \textit{thorn} and 
% \textit{wen}, are known Runic inventions. And then there are other glyphs
% which I can only assume were also Runic inventions.
%
%    The font presented here is based on the Anglo-Saxon Runic abecedary 
% which had 24 letters and one (punctuation) mark.
% The font presented here is based on information from Drucker~\cite{DRUCKER95},
% Firmage~\cite{FIRMAGE93}, and the 
% \textit{Encyclopedia Brittanica}.
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\Fthorn}
% \DescribeMacro{\Fng}
% Many of the Runic characters 
% have a direct correspondence with the modern Latin alphabet. 
% For those characters that have a direct correspondance I have mapped
% the Runic letter to the uppercase Latin letter. However, the \textit{thorn}
% and \textit{ng} characters have no match. These two characters are
% accessed via |\Fthorn| and |\Fng| respectively.
% 
% The letter sequence
% for the futharc abecedary mapping is:\\
% |F U \Fthorn A R K G W H N I J Y P X S T B E M L \Fng D O :| \\
% where |:| is the (punctuation) mark.
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\futfamily}
%    This command selects the Runic font family. The family name is |fut|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\textfut}
% The command |\textfut{|\meta{text}|}| typesets \meta{text} in the
% Runic font.

%
% \begin{macro}{stylus}
%    Define the pen.
%    \begin{macrocode}
pickup pencircle xscaled px yscaled py;

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{beginglyph}

  midloc:=1/2w; rightloc:=(w-s);
  pickup stylus enddef;

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{cmchar}
%    |cmchar| should precede each character
%    \begin{macrocode}
let cmchar=\;

% 
%    That would be the end of a driver file, except for calling the glyph code.
