Fonts developed for APL

The spread of Unicode has made most of these redundant except for displaying pre-Unicode source code or output, or running older interpreters.

Vector and the APL Wiki now use only the APL385 Unicode font for displaying source code and session logs. We recommend downloading and installing it for best results on the Web.

Unicode fonts

• APL385 Unicode (180Kb). This is a Unicode-mapped APL font, as described in Vector 19.3. It has Cyrillic and Greek in addition to all the standard Windows characters and all known APL symbols.

• Phil Chastney’s SimPL (2002 version, 200Kb) Unicode APL font for NT. See his article for a description of the original font, and his notes for details of the 2001 version. The 2002 version has minor revisions and improvements.
