[Posted on 27 December 2024, with updates<\/em>]<\/p>\n By request, our own Multi-Lingual Digital Font Bembino<\/a> now has a special edition which can be used with Microsoft Word<\/a>.<\/p>\n Are you familiar with our RGME font Bembino<\/a>, years in the making, and available freely for anyone to use, for commercial or non-commercial uses alike? You can see it in action here on our official website and in our Publications<\/a>, both digital and traditional, since its inception. Over the years, responding to requests, the font has grown with support for more languages and improvements.<\/p>\n You can download it here, with its explanatory booklet describing the font and its origin.<\/p>\n Another booklet displays specimens of Bembino set for a wide range of languages, Western and non-Western.<\/p>\n Responding to a request in 2023, our Font Designer has created support for the imaginary Elvish<\/a> languages in a Bembino font for its Tengwar<\/a> script.<\/p>\n Continuing to develop support for languages already embraced in Bembino, in June we announced some more fonts for non-Western languages.<\/p>\n In November the first full-length book using Bembino was published, as the font preferred by its author, our Associate Reid Byers<\/a>, for the catalogue of his exhibition now on display at The Grolier Club<\/a> in New York City (December 5, 2024 \u2013 February 15, 2025).<\/p>\n See also, for example,<\/p>\n We are thrilled to see Reid’s book and exhibition. He gave the RGME a preview of his extraordinary collection of “Imaginary Books” and the exhibition for our 2024 Autumn Symposium<\/a> in October. His Abstract and companion image in the Symposium Booklet reports his approach and shows a specimen page from his catalogue, set in Bembino.<\/p>\n Reid’s book was designed by Matthew Young and published by Oak Knoll Press and the Club Fortas. We congratulate them for the achievement, which brings instruction, the sense of wonder, and delight.<\/p>\n In December, BembinoWP<\/strong> came into the world. For years, people have asked for a version to use with Microsoft Word. Now, after long efforts to resolve the issues which that program presents to others’ fonts, our Font Designer has completed a version of Bembino specifically for this purpose, with its own name.<\/p>\n We invite you to try it out.<\/p>\n Instructions for the file for downloading:<\/p>\n Rename the file to .zip, then extract, and install.<\/p>\n Read the .pdf first.<\/p>\n Please let us know what you think, if you find it useful, and what corrections or improvements you think it could have.<\/p>\n See:<\/p>\n *****<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to BembinoWP A Special Edition of our Multi-Lingual Digital Font for use with Microsoft Word and other Word-Processing Programs [Posted on 27 December 2024, with updates] By request, our own Multi-Lingual Digital Font Bembino now has a special edition which can be used with Microsoft Word.
