Everson Mono supports Shavian in glorious monowidth. An excellent (and very very large) font to use as a default in e-mail.

And sometimes people even pay it. Isn’t that nice? It makes me feel a little bit happy.

The font I linked earlier, Andagii, is an essentially redone Shavian font
from the original Andagii - just 8k - and works great for monospace. I use
it in my terminal programs. And nobody is asking you to pay to use it.

Everson Mono has more than 9000 characters in it and many people have found it very useful. Some people have contributed to its development by paying the fee. I suppose most do not.

Unifont has over 100,000 glyphs (every printable code point in the Unicode
BMP) and does so freely. There's no cost, you can use the font in whatever
you want without restriction, the only conditions are if you extend the
font you make your contributions available under the same license.

http://unifoundry.com/

There are several other unicode fonts which provide shavian glyphs which
are also free.

I just approved a new book for Global Reach (ie. international distribution through the web and brick & mortar stores) through Lulu.com. Please check out www.shawalphabetbooks.com for details. :-)

Woo hoo! How wonderfully excellent!

I for my part am not ashamed to have offered Everson Mono with a small fee for those who choose to contribute to its development costs. I am not independently wealthy, and the small contribution that some people choose to make is welcome.

I also sell, for money, a number of fonts at MyFonts.com. You can see them at http://www.myfonts.com/search/evertype/fonts/

You are welcome to disdain the fact that those fonts (and the tens of thousands of other fonts there) are sold for money.

Hello!

I'm interested in the Shavian alphabet too, although in its representation
of Esperanto, not English, and in hand-written form.

I look forward to hearing more about your work with fonts; we Shavian
supporters need to keep informed and keep in touch, I believe.

Subject: The honorific capital in "God"

Toggle Shavian
Is there an established tradition about (non-)usage of the "naming
dot" in the Shavian transcription of the words like "God"?

I always considered the G in
"God save the Queen"
as the same kind of honorific, as the Q in Queen; or as the usage
of capitals in the pronouns (and He saw that light was good...).

Yet some people believe this is a name (because the article usage
is irregular wrt this word; this does not convince me).
