ABOUT

Web developer Ryan Burke built the site in Drupal 7 (Zen theme) now upgraded to Drupal 9 using a ZURB Foundation sub theme. He continues to provide crucial help in enabling its growth and development. Chris Stamas created the original design, and contributes regularly in refining that design as the site grows.

Fonts: The serif font used for the Latin texts is Georgia, the sans serif font used in the notes and elsewhere is Arial. The Greek font is Cardo, by David Perry, author of Document Preparation for Classical Languages: Latin, Greek, Biblical and Medieval (2nd ed. 2010). It is a large Unicode WOFF font designed especially for classicists, and is also one of the Google Web Fonts. Pages with Greek use Cardo throughout, even for Roman characters.
