Flavius Font Family for Macintosh (revised 10/23/99)
Flavius is a fully-charactered Macintosh font family in four weights: roman, italic, bold and bold italic. In place of the diaresis (the umlaut character, “¨”), the Flavius fonts substitute a macron (“¯”). This means that you access the macron characters just as you would umlaut characters in any other font: Option-u followed by the character for the lower case forms, Option-u followed by the shift of the character for the upper case forms. The affected characters are shown in the table below.

Install Flavius just as you would any other Macintosh font. If you’re not using ATM or Suitcase or some other font management utility, just select the font suitcase and the four outline fonts (the files named FlaviusRoman.fam, FlaviBol, FlaviBolIta, FlaviIta, FlaviRom) and drop them all on the System Folder. The operating system will volunteer to install them for you, and you should let it. Flavius is stored in a self-extracting Stuffit archive: Flavius.sea. (Alas, the rights to distribute these fonts are in dispute; this page will be updated when the dispute is resolved.)

Flavius Font Family for Windows
Flavius is a fully-charactered Windows font family in four weights: roman, italic, bold and bold italic. In place of the diaresis (the umlaut character, “¨”), the Flavius fonts substitute a macron (“¯”). This means that you access the macron characters just as you would umlaut characters in any other font: Control-Shift-: (colon) followed by the character for the lower case forms, Control-Shift-: followed by the shift of the character for the upper case forms. The affected characters are shown in the table below.

Install Flavius just as you would any other Windows font: Copy the four files into your Fonts folder, which is usually C:\Windows\Fonts. Flavius is stored in four separate files: Roman, Italic, Bold, Bold-Italic. (Alas, the rights to distribute these fonts are in dispute; this page will be updated when the dispute is resolved.)
