+                 =============
+
+          Fonts for the Webster 1913 Dictionary.
+          For version 0.50
+          Last edit May 5, 2001

+transmitted in binary mode)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
+
+    This file describes a modified font for use in visualizing the
+text of the 1913 "Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary" (W1913),
+usable for the DOS operating system of IBM-compatible personal computers.
+The electronic version of that dictionary and this font were prepared by
+MICRA, Inc., Plainfield NJ, and are copyrighted (C) 1996 by MICRA, Inc.
+For details of permissions and restrictions on using these files, see
+the accompanying file "readme.web".
+    The special characters used in the electronic version of the Webster
+1913 are required for visualizing unusual characters used in the
+etymology and pronunciation fields of the dictionary, in a form
+comparable to the way they appear in the original.  Since there are
+more than 256 characters used in that dictionary, not all can be
+represented by single-byte codes, and are instead represented by
+SGML-style "short-form" symbols.  (rather than the "entity" format
+"&xx;"  The ampersand is used frequently, and we prefer to leave
+the "<" as the only "escape" character) of the type <x/ where x
+is a specific code for the symbol in the dictionary.
+See the "Short Form" section below for details about such characters.
+Note that the symbols used here are in some cases abbreviations
+(for compactness) of the ISO 8879 recommended symbols.  If necessary,
+the table below allows simple replacement by alternate encodings.
+    This symbol font can be loaded in IBM-compatible (x86) computers
+running the DOS operating system by using the "font.bat" command file
+in the "utils" directory.  The fonts files for 8x14 and 8x16 fonts are
+"web14.fnt" and "web16.fnt" respectively.
+    For those loading the Webster onto some machine other than an
+IBM-compatible running DOS, it will be necessary to provide a
+translation table, to convert these characters into a code that
+can be handled by that computer.  For this reason, I attach an
+"explanation" for each character, for those who cannot view
+the original DOS font.
+    The DOS-loadable font does not contain all of the characters needed
+to depict the etymologies or the pronunciations.  In addition to an
+absence of several characters used in the pronunciations, no Greek letters are
+included.  The Greek words appearing in the etymologies,
+when they are included, will be typed in a
+roman-letter transcription (See section on Greek transcription, below).
+Only a very few Greek words have been thus transcribed as of the
+present version (version 0.41).
+    Wherever the typists did not know the character to use, they
+usually inserted a reverse-video question mark (decimal 176).
+This appears in full-ASCII versions as <?/.  This mark was used both for
+characters in non-ASCII fonts, and for unreadable characters (i.e.,
+characters smeared in the original or distorted in the copies available
+to the typists. The type in the original was in many places smeared and
+illegible at the left and right page margins; occasionally, small
+parts of words were blotted out by plain white space).
+    A character table for the high-order characters appears below.
+Under that is a list and description of most of the special characters
+used in the Webster files.
+     Note that there are yet some characters used in the etymologies,
+and some other symbols, which are not in this list.  For example, the
+vowels with a double dot *underneath*, e.g. a (as in all) have no representation
+in this character set, and, where explicitly entered in the dictionary,
+are represented by <xdd/ where "x" is the letter, as in "<add/".
+
+ITALICS
+-------
+   In most places, italic font is represented by the tags <it>...</it>
+surrounding the italic text, or by some other tag which also implies
+italic font.  In the pronunciations, however, where italicized vowels 
+are used among non-italic and other special characters to indicate
+pronunciation, the special codes <ait/, <eit/, <iit/, <oit/, <uit/, 
+are also used to indicate the italicized vowel.
+
+DIACRITICS
+-------------
+     The European grave and acute accents are represented by the
+standard (IBM PC) high-order codes.  Other characters with diacritics
+are represented by special "entity" codes, and in some cases also
+are found in this special WEB1913 font, described below.
+     Vowels with a circle above (as in Swedish) are coded <xring/
+(x with a ring, or "degrees" mark over it); vowels with tilde over them
+are represented by <xtil/, where "x" is the vowel, as in <etil/ (<atil/
+also has code 238); letters with a dot above are represented by <xdot/
+-- letter with a dot below are represented by <xsdot/ ("subdot");
+vowels with the semi-long mark (a macron with a short perpendicular
+vertical stroke attached above) are represented by <xsl/; the
+circumflex vowels have codes on this list, but may also be represented
+as <xcir/; vowels with macrons above are <xmac/ (including <oomac/,
+the "oo" with an unbroken macron above the two letters, <aemac/ = the
+ligature ae with a macron [also 214 = \'d6], and <oemac/ the ligature
+oe with a macron [also 215 = \'d7]); vowels with umlauts or a crescent
+(breve) above have codes in this list, but may also be represented by
+<xum/ and <xcr/ respectively.  There is an occasional hacek or caron mark
+(an inverted circumflex) in the original; such letters are coded <xcar/.
+The o with a caron has code 213, but no others are in this font list.
+The diaeresis is treated typographically as identical to the umlaut.
+   A special modification, used only for poetry (see entry "saturnian verse"
+under "saturnian") is a vowel with a macron, in which the macron is lighter
+than the usual macron, signifying a stressed syllable which has a short
+vowel sound.  This is represented by <xsmac/ ("short mac").
+   Another special character used in pronunciations is an "n" with an underline (like
+a macron, but below the letter), used to represent the "ng" sound.  This is coded
+<nsm/ ("n sub-macron").  The ligated th used in pronunciations to depict the
+"th" sound of "the" is coded as <th/.
+    NOTE: the letter combinations "fi" and "fl" are invariably printed as the
+ligatures &filig; and &fllig;, but these ligatures are not marked as such
+in this transcription, and the two letters are left as individuals.
+
+SPECIAL SYMBOLS
+   The dagger <dag/, double dagger <ddag/, and paragraph mark <para/ are rarely used.
+    The double prime, or "seconds" of a degree is sometimes represented by
+a double "light accent" (code 183 = \'b7).  In other places, and in later
+versions, it is represented by <sec/ = hex a9, in the webfont.
+   The symbols "greater than" <gt/ and "less than" are encountered only
+once, but are distinguished from the right- and left-angle brackets
+(> and <) because of possible typographical differences in some fonts.
+   The schwa is symbolized by <schwa/.  It is not used in the 
+pronunciations, but is mentioned as a symbol.
+   The right-pointing arrow is <rarr/, consistent with ISO 8879.

+Below is a complete list of the symbols used in the Webster ("webfont") 
+which are encoded in the special font listed above, together with
+corresponding symbols in ISO 8879 and Tex coding.  Much of this table was
+prepared by Rik Faith, to whom we express our appreciation.
+    The "nearest ASCII" equivalents are given for those who want to
+display the data as best one can in 7-bit simple ASCII symbols without
+using the "entity" symbols.
+=========================================================================
+----------------------------------
+Table 2     
+----------------------------------
+
+Comments: 
+  (1) The symbol in the "entity" column is the SGML-like symbol used in
+      the present Webster files; the symbol in the "ISO 8879" column is
+      the symbol for the same character given in "The user's guide to
+      ISO 8879" by Smith and Stutely.
+  (2) An asterisk "*" in the "entity" column means that this symbol and 
+code value is not used in any form in the Webster 1913 electronic version.
+  (3)  If no asterisk is in the "entity" column, and no other symbol is 
+there, this means that in the Webster, only the hexadecimal representation
+was used (e.g. for \'d8, \'bd, and  \'b8).
+  (4) \'b6 and \'b7, the heavy and light "accents", are never above a
+letter (these are not diacritical marks), but in-between letters, as the
+stress accent used in the headwords and pronunciations.  The accent
+*follows* the syllable accented.  The light accent \'b7 is also used as
+the "prime" in mathematical expressions (e.g. a\'b7 = "a prime"), or as
+ "minutes" in degrees-minutes-seconds, and when doubled (\'b7\'b7)
+serves as "double prime" in mathematical expressions, and as "seconds"
+in degrees-minutes-seconds.  The character \'a9 (<sec/ or &Prime;) is
+also used to represent the double prime.
+  (5) Although the semilong vowels are in the table (e.g. the "asl" 
+= "a semilong", most of the entries in the ASCII version dictionary
+use the <xsl/ symbol coding.  If you know of any printers' names for
+these, do let me know.
+  (6)  For some reason, the a breve and u breve have ISO codes (in the
+Latin-2 table), but the other vowels don't, in the Smith & Stutely book.
+Is this a mistake?
+  (7) The symbol <nsc/ is used for "N small capitals", used in
+pronunciations to represent the soun fo the nasal N in French words.
+  (8) A weak accent (when not in pronunciations) is symbolized by <prime/, the "minutes" (of a degree) symbol.  A strong accent is symbolized by <bprime/ ("bold prime", not an ISO entity).
+  (9) If you find any exceptions to these usage assertions, please
+let me know.
