The Old and Middle English texts and exercises at this web site are currently (spring 2000) under development, and proofreading may not be completed for all files. The author and his employing institution accept no responsibility for any consequences that may ensue from the use of information presented in this demo version.

For best results, these pages should be viewed with Netscape Navigator 4.04 (or a later version).
 



















Å Font information

The Old English texts and exercises require the fonts JuniusModern and Wingdings. If a character does not appear in the shape it is supposed to in the test table below, you will need to install the corresponding font on your computer. Wingdings is a standard Windows font; JuniusModern can be downloaded from Peter Baker's Old English at the University of Virginia web page. Information about fonts for Middle English texts can be found here.

Note for Macintosh users: due to deep-rooted differences in character coding between Windows and the Macintosh operating system, the Old English words will look odd on a Mac even if you have the right fonts installed. Parallel pages coded for the Mac are available: the link below will take you to the main menu in the parallel Macintosh universe.
