		<p>
			Aroania is a modern recast of Victor Scholderer's "New Hellenic" font, on the
			basis of Verdana. In 1927, Victor Julius Scholderer (1880-1971), on behalf of
			the "Society for the Promotion of Greek Studies", got involved in choosing and
			consulting the design and production of a Greek type called "New Hellenic", cut
			by the Lanston Monotype Corporation. He chose the revival of a round, and
			almost monoline type which had first appeared in 1492 in the edition of
			Macrobius, ascribable to the printing shop of Giovanni Rosso (Joannes Rubeus)
			in Venice.
		</p>
		<p>
			The font covers the Windows Glyph List, IPA Extensions, Greek Extended, Ancient
			Greek Numbers, Byzantine and Ancient Greek Musical Notation, various
			typographic extras and several Open Type features (Case-Sensitive Forms, Small
			Capitals, Subscript, Superscript, Numerators, Denominators, Fractions, Old
			Style Figures, Historical Forms, Stylistic Alternates, Ligatures).
			
			It was created by George Douros.
