<summary>A font based on Victor Julius Scholderer's "New Hellenic"</summary>
<description>
<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>
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.
