The ligature `agus' is also made available. The remaining characters (digits, punctuation and accents) are inherited from the Computer Modern family of founts. Within TeX the accented Irish letters are accessible as ligatures, in a manner consistent with the usage on Gaelic-L. A vowel followed by a slash yields a long vowel; a lowercase consonant followed by h, or an uppercase consonant followed by either H or h, yields an aspirated consonant. (The latter only works with those consonants which actually undergo aspiration; for such things as n with a dot above, as found in some old texts, the standard TeXnique -- in this case \.n preceded by \def\.#1{\accent26#1} -- must be used.) The ligature `agus' is accessed as 7` (seven-backquote). Most fount files consult the files from the Sauter distribution for parameters, so you have to download and install them before you can generate the founts. Sauter is available from CTAN. Note that the *.fd files sometimes mention founts which are not in the distribution. Making at least some of those should be a fairly straightforward task, but feel free to contact me for assistance if you need it.

eiad – Traditional style Irish fonts
In both lower and upper case 32 letters are defined (18 'plain' ones, 5 long vowels and 9 aspirated consonants). The ligature 'agus' is also made available. The remaining characters (digits, punctuation and accents) are inherited from the Computer Modern family of fonts.
The font definitions use code from the sauter fonts, so those fonts have to be installed before using eiad.
OT1*.fd files are provided for use with LaTeX.
