Yet another release of Junicode, the font for medievalists.
There were significant problems with some Windows apps in version 0.7. These have now been fixed in version 0.7.1; all Windows users should update their copies. But there are other incremental improvements as well, so OS X and Linux users may as well update.
Be sure to delete the old version before installing the new: there have been some file name and font name changes, and so failure to delete the old copy will surely cause problems.

One more note by the way. If you have a *very* recent version of Firefox you can see the new advanced typography support in that browser tested/demonstrated with Junicode here:

Insular letter-shapes, true small caps, historical forms, and more, including (my personal favorite) reversed and mirrored runes. I hope very much that this kind of typography will eventually be supported in all the major browsers.
