[Ansteorra] Recommendations for medieval fonts

[Reis ap Tuder via Ansteorra]

Obviously it's been a while since I got them, but I believe they can

http://www.fontriver.com/font/magna_carta/

http://www.fontriver.com/font/kelmscott/ (shareware, but they're asking
like $5 for this version of the font)


Cheers,
