Response and Versicle with the liturgy.ttf True Type font

The font liturgy only contains four glyphs. If that font is installed on your computer, or if you use a recent browser (i.e. Firefox 3 or later, Internet Explorer 4 or later, Chrome 4 or later, Safari with Webkit), you will see it below:

  • . (dot): at the same place as “.”; ascii code = 46.
  • + (Malt cross): at the same place as “+” (plus sign); ascii code = 47.
  • R (response): at the same place as “R” (capitalised); ascii code = 82.
  • V (versicle): at the same place as “V” (capitalised); ascii code = 86.

This font has been generated by the program mftrace from Metafont fonts. You can ask us for the source. Later, the font has been improved with software like FontForge. Finally, Fr. Bernard Marsh optimized the font in June 2015.
