Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.0 of this font provides several fixes and
improvements. Most importantly fixes are to the runes for
'a' and the reduced forms of 'e'.
New runes have been provided to create for one through four
vertical dots. All runes can now be accessed through
character sequences, which eliminates the need for
numerical access.
All changes are summarized in the Changelog file.
