shortdesc Disk of Phaistos font.
relocated 1
longdesc A font that contains all the symbols of the famous Disc of
longdesc Phaistos, together with a LaTeX package. The disc was 'printed'
longdesc by stamping the wet clay with some sort of punches, probably
longdesc around 1700 BCE. The font is available in Adobe Type 1 and
longdesc OpenType formats (the latter using the Unicode positions for
longdesc the symbols). There are those who believe that this Cretan
longdesc script was used to 'write' Greek (it is known, for example,
longdesc that the rather later Cretan Linear B script was used to write
longdesc Greek), but arguments for other languages have been presented.
