Glagolica Missal DB is a Unicode OpenType font for Angular Glagolitic based on  Glagolica Missal DPG by Nenad Hančić-Matejić. In contrast to the predecessor, all the Glagolitic letters are assigned their designated Unicode positions; the font contains Glagolitic superscript letters and several additional ligatures as well as the letters for đ, dž, lj, nj proposed by Frane Paro; and ligatures are created automatically using the OpenType feature “ligatures”; additionally, the OpenType feature “old-style figures” can be used to automatically display numbers as Glagolitic numbers.

The font is published with a special license that makes it free to use, whereas modifications and redistribution are subject to certain restrictions.

FreeSerif DB is simply FreeSerif with a few improvements and especially the addition of the letter “Old Polish O” (Ꟁ = U+A7C0, ꟁ = U+A7C1), which was used in medieval Polish texts to represent the nasal vowel [ã]. This letter was added to Unicode 14.0 in September 2021 in response to my proposal, but it is currently not yet included in many fonts. (As of February 2023, fonts supporting the Old Polish nasal vowel letter include RomanCyrillic Std and Junicode Two.)

These keyboards are designed for writing all Slavic languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, including Church Slavonic with all special characters needed even for non-standard texts. These characters are accessible through AltGr combinations and two dead keys. There are several versions for people used to different keyboard layouts.

These keyboard layouts have been designed by a working group of the Commission on the Computer-Supported Processing of Mediæval Slavonic Manuscripts and Early Printed Books to the International Committee of Slavists. They are meant for typing Church Slavonic or other Slavic languages in the Old Cyrillic script. Coming in different ‘flavours’ based on existing modern Cyrillic keyboard layouts, they all follow the same basic principles: All preiotated letters can be entered by typing AltGr + the non-preiotated letter. The most important characters and letter variants can also be accessed via AltGr. Three special deadkeys are used for a) less frequently used letter variants; b) combining superscript letters; c) lexicalized variants of o. Multi-dot punctuation marks, number signs, and all the necessary diacritics as well as liturgical symbols can be entered using key combinations that are easy to remember.

This Glagolitic keyboard is based on the Croatian/Serbian mapping of the Latin/Cyrillic letters to the keyboard. Using the <AltGr> (or <Ctrl> + <Alt>) key, all the Glagolitic letters in Unicode can be accessed, as well as diacritics and special punctuation marks used in Glagolitic texts.

It depends on the font used whether round or angular Glagolitic characters appear on the screen and the paper. For your convenience, the layout images show the keyboard in both versions.

This Glagolitic keyboard layout is based on the same principles as the Old Cyrillic keyboard layouts above. However, superscript letters are accessed via AltGr key combinations.

This keyboard is based on the Greek Polytonic standard keyboard. However, rather than using separate dead keys for all occurring combinations of diacritics (one key for asper + acute, one key for lenis + circumflex + iota subscript, etc.), which I never managed to memorize, it allows combining the standard deadkeys for single diacritics. That is, in order to enter ᾦ, you first push the three separate dead keys for lenis, circumflex, and iota subscript (in any order) and then the key vor ω. Additionally, this approach freed space on the keyboard for a lot of useful characters that cannot be typed using the standard polytonic keyboard.
