Description: Aroania is a modern recast of Victor Scholderer's "New Hellenic"
font, on the basis of Verdana. In 1927, Victor Julius Scholderer (1880󿀄1971),
on behalf of the "Society for the Promotion of Greek Studies", got involved in
choosing and consulting the design and production of a Greek type called "New
Hellenic", cut by the Lanston Monotype Corporation. He chose the revival of a
round, and almost monoline type which had first appeared in 1492 in the edition
of Macrobius, ascribable to the printing shop of Giovanni Rosso (Joannes
Rubeus) in Venice.

The font covers the Windows Glyph List, IPA Extensions, Greek Extended, Ancient
Greek Numbers, Byzantine and Ancient Greek Musical Notation, various
typographic extras and several Open Type features (Case-Sensitive Forms, Small
Capitals, Subscript, Superscript, Numerators, Denominators, Fractions, Old
Style Figures, Historical Forms, Stylistic Alternates, Ligatures).

It was created by George Douros.
