+# Sligeach font - A reprint font of a 19th Gaelic type font.
+
+Sligeach (Irish name for Sligo) font is a revived version of the Gaelic font used in some books. The font is mainly adapted from *
+A practical grammar of the Irish language* (by Owen Connellan in 1844), and the name is named from the linguist's birthplace.
+
+The font is referenced from:
+ - A Practical Grammar of the Irish Language (Owen Connellan, 1844, main source)
+ - Focloir Gaoidhilge - Sacs-bearla, or an Irish - English dictionary (Thomas De Vere Coneys, 1849).
+
+The's three version of it:
+
+ - sligeach_orig.ttf : the small u is like v, and it doesn't contain some ligatures (eg. ea, rr) listed in A Practical Grammar of the Irish Language, p.13.
+ - sligeach_round_u.ttf : the small u is round, like roman-type u, and it doesn't contain some ligatures (eg. ea, rr) listed in APGIL, p.13.
+ - sligeach_ligature.ttf : the small u is like v, and it contains all ligatures (including ea, rr) listed in APGIL, p.13.
+
+It contains some punctuations(:;*,.?!‘’“”), but contains no numbers.
