<p><b>Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci</b> (Italian: [leoˈnardo di
|
|
|
ˌsɛr ˈpjɛːro da (v)ˈvintʃi]; 14/15 April 1452 – 2
|
|
|
May 1519), known as Leonardo da Vinci, was an Italian polymath of the
|
|
|
Renaissance whose areas of interest included «invention, drawing,
|
|
|
painting, sculpture, architecture, science, music, mathematics,
|
|
|
engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany,
|
|
|
paleontology, and cartography». He has been variously called the
|
|
|
father of palaeontology, ichnology, and architecture, and is widely
|
|
|
considered one of the greatest painters of all time (despite perhaps
|
|
|
only 15 of his paintings having survived).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Leonardo is renowned primarily as a painter. The <i>Mona Lisa</i>
|
|
|
is the most famous of his works <a href="nopage.html#f34"><sup>34</sup></a>
|
|
|
and the most popular portrait ever made. <i>The Last Supper</i>
|
|
|
is the most reproduced religious painting of all
|
|
|
time<a href=nopage.html#f35"><sup>35</sup></a> and his
|
|
|
Vitruvian Man drawing is regarded as a cultural icon as
|
|
|
well<a href="nopage.html#f36"><sup>36</sup></a>. Salvator Mundi was
|
|
|
sold for a world record $450.3 million at a Christie's auction
|
|
|
in New York, 15 November 2017, the <a href="nolink">highest price</a>
|
|
|
ever paid for a work of art. <i>Leonardo's paintings and preparatory
|
|
|
drawings—together with his notebooks, which contain sketches,
|
|
|
scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of
|
|
|
painting—compose a contribution to later generations of artists
|
|
|
rivalled only by that of his contemporary Michelangelo.</i></p>

<div>Above is some random text to appreciate lines height, and how
|
|
|
much height or pages the same text occupy with each font —
|
|
|
with bits in bold and italic, numbers and footnote links.</div>
|
|
|
<div> </div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div>These are some numbers and possibly ambiguous letters and symbols:<br/>

|
<div>Next are some bits to appreciate this font's OpenType features:<br/>
|
|
|
This might show some ligatures: afflicting filling.<br/>
|
|
|
<span style="font-variant: small-caps ">This line might be in Small Caps</span>.<br/>
|
|
|
Lining numbers <span style="font-variant: lining-nums">123456</span> vs
|
|
|
<span style="font-variant: oldstyle-nums">123456</span> oldstyle numbers.
|

<div> </div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div>Finally, some words in various scripts to see how the baseline
|
|
|
and height of this font and those of the fallback fonts compare:
|
|
|
a few classic greek words are νους, intelligence, ειδος, form,
|
|
|
and λογος, which have nothing to do with the following text
|
|
|
in simplified chinese <span lang="zh-CN">关门吃及刃</span>,
|
|
|
and the same text in traditional chinese <span lang="zh-Hant">关门吃及刃</span>
|
|
|
or in japanese <span lang="ja">关门吃及刃</span>.
|
|
|
Nothing in common either with these RTL and BiDi bits
|
|
|
in hebrew סֶּלַע ססס
|
|
|
and in arabic الرحيم (123 456) الْحَمْدُ and وال (بااتي: abcd) من.
|
|
|
This should be enough to appreciate this font.</div>
