I can now say with a fair amount of confidence that the next version of Junicode, 0.6.5, is in stable condition. That is, it installs correctly under Windows, Linux and the latest version of OS X, and all the programming works, to the extent that I have been able to test it. Get it at this URL:

Click the "Beta" link at the very bottom. I will not promote this to official release status until I have brought the documentation up to date, but the fonts themselves should not change.

As has generally been the case, the Regular style is much fuller than the bold, italic, and bold italic. When I get urgent requests for bold or italic characters to match the regular ones, I do try to comply.

Many thanks to Mark Stansbury for stress-testing under OS X.
