Numus  Moneta  Font
a True-Type font for all Windows systems, Win95 and newer

Numus is pleased to make available to the world-wide
ancient coin community this special true-type font which
is perfect for documenting Roman coins.  In addition to
Greek and Latin characters, it contains over 70 special
control marks used only on Roman Imperial Coinage.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO MONETA OWNERS:
This font re-assigns five characters from Moneta programs which shipped prior to
February 1, 2001.  This was necessary to make the font useful for legends as well
as mint and control marks.  The relocated characters permit the re-introduction of
the dash, square brackets, and pipeline symbols which permit broken, missing, and
multi-line legends to be documented properly.  This migration is necessary to allow
Greek Imperials to be documented via Moneta.  The following program download
will automatically take care of conversion issues.  Simply download and install the
new font (this program does not do that), then download and run this conversion
program.  That's all.  This program is not zipped.  Simply download and run it.
You do not need to convert now.  This conversion is built into the Ver 2.0 upgrade.
