the interesting thing about having that font is that, if it includes all the characters, you could write out the whole thing and plug it into a supercomputer to see if it can decipher any of it. It looks like that font is based on some TrueType by Glenn Claston. I mean, there's a lot of difficulties and things you would need to know about 15th century writing to write a program for it, but it could be done - it would just take years and a lot of money. Thankfully, Yale has a lot of money. It's got a bunch of like, run on words and no periods, right? I haven't looked at it in a long time.
