Description

There are a large number of research and related projects working on medieval texts that require characters found in the Unicode Latin Extended D range (also C and E and various other codecharts). The MUFI project (https://mufi.info) has worked over a number of years to get these characters into the Unicode standard.

The Cardo font covers a lot but not all Unicode additions, and in any case web applications require simple, high-quality fonts. Noto Sans aims for comprehensiveness so would be an ideal candidate for a font that supported these characters.

Potential projects that could make use of this font include:
