Below is a list of the diacritic characters contained in the Jaghbub font package. All
fonts contain the same set of diacritic characters, based on and similar to the
standard fonts Times (the Jaghbub font), Helvetica (Bairut), Palatino (Koufra), as
well as screen fonts for Geneva, New York, Courier and Monaco. In addition to the
diacritics listed, all fonts also include the regular alphabet and normal European
diacritics (, , etc.).
To make typing easier, separate keyboard layouts have been developed for US,
UK, French, German and Danish users. These are separte files which you drop into
your System and which you can then choose from the Macs Keyboards menu.
They are not needed to display or print with the fonts, but only make it simpler to
type the diacritics (by e.g. pressing option together with s to get ). In order
to see how to type in your national system, look in the Jaghbub keys table file in
the package for a full list.
What you use the characters for is your own choice. But below are listed, for
