Glanchl is a Gaelic font in TrueType format for Windows.
It conforms to the standard for the extended Roman Celtic
code  table  for  Windows  (see the  article  by  Michael
Everson  entitled  Tbla cdla Ceilteacha:  caighdein
nua  in Feasta, June 1994) except that many characters
which  are superfluous in Irish and in Scots Gaelic  have
been omitted.

Glanchl  is  neither freeware nor shareware,  but cis-
ware.   This means that it may be copied and distributed
without any restriction provided it is accompanied at all
times  by  this text file.  It may also be used  free  of
charge  for the processing or publication of material  in
the  Gaelic languages.  Glanchl may NOT be used  for any
other purpose whatever without my prior permission.

Auto-kerning  was  implemented  in  version 6.2  and  the 
letters j, k, y and z  were re-designed in version 6.3 of  
Glanchl.

The  GAELACH.REC  macro  program  (written  by  Ciarn   
Duibhn  and available at this site)  permits easy use of 
the accented vowels and lenited consonants. The following
shortcuts are available with GAELACH.REC:
     AltGr+vowel = vowel with an acute accent
     AltGr+consonant = consonant with a point of lenition
     Alt+vowel = vowel with a grave accent
     Alt+r = long 'r'
     Alt+s = long 's'
     Alt+Shift+s = long 's' with a point of lenition
Further  information  on  the  use of  GAELACH.REC can be 
found under 'Recorder' in the 'Windows' manual.
