We only can provide the TrueType fonts for both Intel and Mac computers. Type 1 fonts seem to work also on Intel systems. If you get problems, please give us some feedback.
Nota bene: Only CSS2 compliant browsers are able to display our fonts on this page. If this is not the case of your browser, some fall-back was implemented for showing equivalent latin letters instead of the characters that cannot be displayed.
The liturgical books of the recent Vatican editions need the glyphs contained in the following table. The last column ("Looks like...") is significant only if you have the liturgy.ttf font installed on your system. Otherwise, you see a R instead of Response, a V instead of Versicle and a + instead of a Malt Cross.
| Name | Unicode (hexadecimal) |
Looks like... |
|---|---|---|
| Response | 211F | R |
| Versicle | 2123 | V |
| Malt cross | 2720 | + |
| Dag | 0086 | † |
If you include latin texts, you will need the characters listed in the table below. Some of these are only available in the Unicode encoding.
| Name | Unicode (hexadecimal) |
Looks like... |
|---|---|---|
| small ae ligated | 00E6 | æ |
| small oe ligated | 0153 | œ |
| small a with acute accent | 00E1 | á |
| small e with acute accent | 00E9 | é |
| small i with acute accent | 00ED | í |
| small o with acute accent | 00F3 | ó |
| small u with acute accent | 00FA | ú |
| small y with acute accent | 00FD | ý |
| small ae ligated with acute accent | C7BD 00E6 0301 |
ǽ ǽ |
| small oe ligated with acute accent | 0153 0301 | œ́ |
| capital AE ligated | 00C6 | Æ |
| capital OE ligated | 0152 | Π|
The table above is also a test to see how far your browser is supporting all these Unicode characters: If the last column doesn't give the expected result, you know that your browser isn't able to support all the Unicode characters, or is bad configured. We achieve to render everything with Firefox at least since version 1.0.7, under Linux Fedora Core, since release FC4.

The font liturgy only contains four glyphs:
This font has been generated by the program mftrace from Metafont fonts. You can ask us for the source. This is a beta version and needs to be improved.
It is a free font. Feel free to copy and to distribute it.
You can download the font liturgy by clicking on the corresponding buttons. For the TrueType fonts, you only need to download one file, the one that ends with the .ttf extension, but for the Type 1 fonts, you will need to download two files: the font itself (with the extension .pfb) and its metrics (with the extension .afm).
If you want to embed the liturgy font inside of PDF files that you produce with FOP, you will need the fonts metrics file liturgyttf.xml.
If this doesn't work, please give us feedback. We will try to fix any issue. Mail us at . If necessary, we will send you the fonts by e-mail.

| Font metrics for FOP | Not available yet... |
For the case that the buttons above do not work, I included below a link to the fonts. Some browsers make it very hard to copy fonts, perhaps because they seem to ignore that copying free fonts is not a delict. Anyway, in the most common browsers, you just have to right-click on the correct link below:
If you want to ask us something about fonts to be used in liturgical texts, don't hesitate to mail us at .
