Nenad Hancic created a new high quality Croatian Glagolitic font for Windows

Posted on August 28, 2011September 23, 2026 by Darko Zubrinic

Will be immensly useful both to amateurs and professionals

The lower case letters of the font “Glagolica Missal DPG” are oriented on the “Missal from 1483”, while the capital letters are oriented on those of the print “Transit of St. Jerome” from 1508.
However, the single letters have all been slightly modified to achieve a harmonious optical impression. In addition several letters have been adjusted for easier readability.
This font also provides various (in part up to quadruple) ligatures, as well as more special characters.
The individual letters of the font are underlined with the Latin, the Cyrillic as well the Glagolitic unicode. So nearly every Slavonic text can easily be converted to the “Glagolica Missal DPG” font.
The font is dedicated to the “Association of the Friends of the Glagolica (Društvo prijatelja glagoljice, DPG)“ for their exemplary efforts regarding the research and preservation of the Glagolica.
For this reason the font has been named “Glagolica Missal DPG”.

In 2011 Nenad Hancic created an improved version of Croatian Glagolitic quickscript based on previous version of the font due to Eugen Divjak from Zagreb, created in 2005. The font is called Kreka notarska kurziva (The Krk notary quickscript):
