that is for Old Norse. It even has the hooked o. It is a Times
Roman font and comes in two forms. One has just the special letters:
ð, þ, av etc. The other has the whole character set. It can be down

Thank you very much for that, Rob :)
I downloaded the font, and am thinking about using the hooked o
symbol in the lessons. For that to be possible, however, we need to
make sure people won't experience difficulties reading the symbol. I
suppose one needs to have the font installed to be able to have it
presented on the screen (right?). So for everybody's ease, I'll put
the .zip file that I downloaded into the Files section, and leave it
to you to install it. Then I'll upload (to Files) a little .doc text
which includes the hooked o; I'd like for somebody here to check how
it presents before and after installment. If this will work, the
hooked o will feature in the revised lessons, instead of 'ö'.
