This July I will be presenting a paper on "Unit Delimitation in the Gospels of Codex Alexandrinus" at the SBL International Meeting. Planning the slide presentation has prompted me to think all the more seriously about designing a quality Greek Uncial font that reflects a 4th/5th century bookhand. An older font called SPDoric is available as an SBL download, but: (1) it is not Unicode; (2) it is not attractive; (3) it is not complete (for my dissertation I will need a qoppa and stigma); (4) several of the characters (e.g., Π) are not representative of my text anyway; and (5) the supralinear bar for nomina sacra often does not meet if drawn over more than one character.
I have not designed a font before, and frankly the idea seems like a potential time sink, but someone will eventually need to design a quality, unicode, Greek Uncial font...
