Also sprach Glanthor:
It would be awesome if we could support some
historical writing systems
with web fonts, for example runes. There is a great free (GPL) font for
this: junicode (
http://junicode.sourceforge.net/). It is possible to use it
in the future?
It's certainly technically possible. Here's a small demo page:
http://www.princexml.com/howcome/2012/runic/
At first glance, it seems like the use of SVG to depict runes on pages
like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runic
can be replaced by using Junicode as a webfont.
