Karel Piska: Georgian scripts

        Abstract

   Georgian writing is presented by three historical development steps:
1. asomtavruli (the earliest `capitals'), 
2. nusxa-xucuri (later `minuscule'), and
3. mxedruli (modern Georgian).

   Standard and headline printed forms of mxedruli shapes are based
on the Computer Modern Georgian font designed by Nana Glonty (1994).
The standard mxedruli font is an extension for several letters that
was formerly used for Georgian and some other languages in the Caucasus
while the headline form (for titles and headlines) is a modification.
   Fonts for two old historical scripts and a handwriting form of mxedruli
with numerous letter connections (no ligatures are used in printed forms)
were created originally.
