Description: ALEXANDER A text typeface built around the Greek letters originally designed by Alexander Wilson (1714-1786), a Scottish doctor, astronomer, and typefounder, who had established a typefoundry in Glasgow in 1744. The type was especially designed for an edition of Homer, published in 1756-8 by Andrew and Robert Foulis, printers to the University of Glasgow. A modern revival, Wilson Greek, was designed by Matthew Carter in 1995. Peter S. Baker is also using Wilson’s Greek type in his Junicode font for medieval scholars (2007). The present font covers the Windows Glyph List (WGL4), IPA Extensions, Greek Extended, various typographical extras, Ancient Greek Numbers, Archaic Greek Musical Notation, Open Type features, et al. Latin and Cyrillic are based on a Garamond typeface. • Information on this font can be found in the document “Alexander.pdf” • The Unicode Consortium. “The Unicode Standard, Version 5.1.0”, defined by: ‘The Unicode Standard, Version 5.0’ (Boston, MA, Addison-Wesley, 2007.
