The font is rather easy designed and surely may be improved. I would be very happy if any suggestions, improvements, corrections etc could be forwarded\footnote{Autor's address: Johannes Heinecke, Sprachwissenschaftliches Seminar, Universit\"at Heidelberg, 69117 Heidelberg, Germany. Or by e-mail: cb7@vm.urz.uni-heidelberg.de}. Thank you very much! The following table shows the latin equivalent to the mxedruli letter. The second column shows the coding to be used within a \LaTeX\ or \TeX\ \verb+\mxedr+ (normal) or \verb+mxedb+ (bold) environment. These font commands work analogous to the normal \LaTeX\ font commands as \verb+\rm+, \verb+\it+ etc. They are loaded with the style file \verb+mxed.sty+. Within a \LaTeX\ environment the font size commands also have effect on the mxedruli letters. \bigskip {\large The Mxedruli-letters:} \medskip \begin{tabular}{|l |l |l |l || l| l| l| l|} \hline latin & \TeX-input & \multicolumn{2}{c||}{Mxedruli} & latin & \TeX-input & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{Mxedruli} \\ \cline{3-4}\cline{7-8} & & normal & bold & & & normal & bold \\ \hline a & \verb|a| & \mxedr a & \mxedb a & o & \verb|o| & \mxedr o & \mxedb o \\ \hline b & \verb|b| & \mxedr b & \mxedb b & p & \verb|p| & \mxedr p & \mxedb p \\ \hline c & \verb|c| & \mxedr c & \mxedb c & \d p & \verb|.p| & \mxedr .p & \mxedb .p \\ \hline \v c & \verb|+c| & \mxedr +c & \mxedb +c & q & \verb|q| & \mxedr q & \mxedb q \\ \hline \d c & \verb|.c| & \mxedr .c & \mxedb .c & r & \verb|r| & \mxedr r & \mxedb r \\ \hline \v{\d c}& \verb|.+c| & \mxedr .+c & \mxedb .+c & s & \verb|s| & \mxedr s & \mxedb s \\ \hline d & \verb|d| & \mxedr d & \mxedb d & \v s & \verb|+s| & \mxedr +s & \mxedb +s \\ \hline e & \verb|e| & \mxedr e & \mxedb e & t & \verb|t| & \mxedr t & \mxedb t \\ \hline g & \verb|g| & \mxedr g & \mxedb g & \d t & \verb|.t| & \mxedr .t & \mxedb .t \\ \hline \.g & \verb|.g| & \mxedr .g & \mxedb .g & u & \verb|u| & \mxedr u & \mxedb u \\ \hline h & \verb|h| & \mxedr h & \mxedb h & v & \verb|v| & \mxedr v & \mxedb v \\ \hline i & \verb|i| & \mxedr i & \mxedb i & x & \verb|x| & \mxedr x & \mxedb x \\ \hline k & \verb|k| & \mxedr k & \mxedb k & z & \verb|z| & \mxedr z & \mxedb z \\ \hline \d k & \verb|.k| & \mxedr .k & \mxedb .k & \v z & \verb|+z| & \mxedr +z & \mxedb +z \\ \hline l & \verb|l| & \mxedr l & \mxedb l & j & \verb|j| & \mxedr j & \mxedb j \\ \hline m & \verb|m| & \mxedr m & \mxedb m & \v\j & \verb|+j| & \mxedr +j & \mxedb +j \\ \hline n & \verb|n| & \mxedr n & \mxedb n & & & & \\ \hline \end{tabular} \clearpage {\large Digits:} \medskip \begin{tabular}{|l |l |l |l || l| l| l| l|} \hline latin & \TeX-input & \multicolumn{2}{c||}{Mxedruli} & latin & \TeX-input & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{Mxedruli} \\ \cline{3-4}\cline{7-8} & & normal & bold & & & normal & bold \\ \hline 1 & \verb|1| & \mxedr 1 & \mxedb 1 & 6 & \verb|6| & \mxedr 6 & \mxedb 6 \\ \hline 2 & \verb|2| & \mxedr 2 & \mxedb 2 & 7 & \verb|7| & \mxedr 7 & \mxedb 7 \\ \hline 3 & \verb|3| & \mxedr 3 & \mxedb 3 & 8 & \verb|8| & \mxedr 8 & \mxedb 8 \\ \hline 4 & \verb|4| & \mxedr 4 & \mxedb 4 & 9 & \verb|9| & \mxedr 9 & \mxedb 9 \\ \hline 5 & \verb|5| & \mxedr 5 & \mxedb 5 & 0 & \verb|0| & \mxedr 0 & \mxedb 0 \\ \hline \end{tabular} {\large Punctuation:} \medskip \begin{tabular}{|l |l |l |l || l| l| l| l|} \hline latin & \TeX-input & \multicolumn{2}{c||}{Mxedruli} & latin & \TeX-input & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{Mxedruli} \\ \cline{3-4}\cline{7-8} & & normal & bold & & & normal & bold \\ \hline . & \verb|.| & \mxedr . & \mxedb . & , & \verb|,| & \mxedr , & \mxedb , \\ \hline : & \verb|:| & \mxedr : & \mxedb : & ; & \verb|;| & \mxedr ; & \mxedb ; \\ \hline ( & \verb|(| & \mxedr ( & \mxedb ( & ) & \verb|)| & \mxedr ) & \mxedb ) \\ \hline ! & \verb|!| & \mxedr ! & \mxedb ! & ?
