In 2011 I came acros condensed version of this font with files such as Junicode-RegularCondensed.ttf. Can a condensed version be offered officially(/again)?
The condensed isn't mine, and unfortunately whoever is responsible for that fork didn't sign it, so that it's hard to tell whom to ask for an update.
Further, it appears to me that the "Condensed" was made by simply scaling all glyphs horizontally, which is not the way to make a condensed face. Making an echt condensed face containing 3000+ glyphs is not a thing I want to undertake. I've got other projects that I'd rather be working on.
I will point out, however, that:
1.) Junicode is Open Source, so anyone who wants a condensed face is welcome to create it, and
2.) the anonymous condensed, FWIW, is included in the Junicode package offered by FontSquirrel. The files have the date 2009 and the version number 0.600. One who wanted an updated condensed face could start with that.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
