Fonts: Dead or Alive

Fonts: Dead or Alive

Fascinated by the length of the URL as well as by foreign languages and writing systems we added the opportunity to use different fonts in LiaScript-Markdown. We hoped that this can be useful for learning ancient and extinct languages…

Not all fonts are installed on my machine, so they are not displayed in the editor. LiaScript however will load and display them appropriately. Since they are Unicode-characters, you can style and use these ancient writing systems as ordinary Markdown.

… actually, it would be fun to see LiaScript-course written entirely in cuneiform ;-)

You can use this this example as a basis for your own course by following this link
