this is intended as a list, giving the bare inscription contents plus location data. There can always be dedicated articles about individual inscriptions, e.g. you can copy-paste most of [1] to CIIC 1. dab (ᛏ) 09:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Question?
Can I ask why in the "Orthodox" section, Ireland and Wales have their own tables, but Scotland, Mann and England are grouped together? Where is the sense in that? Is it a number thing? And also, Shetland is in Scotland, so why is there is there a table categorized "Scotland, Shetland" in the "scholastic" box? Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 02:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- the list is still a stub. I put the inscriptions under rough geographic headers, following Macalister if I remember correctly. If you decide to work on expanding the list, feel free to re-organize the headings. dab (ᛏ) 11:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Proper Ogham Formatting?
I've noticed that some Ogham texts on this page have space marks buffering the opening and closing feather marks from the letters ( ᚛ ᚑᚌᚆᚐᚋ ᚜ ), whereas others don't ( ᚛ᚑᚌᚆᚐᚋ᚜ ). I was wondering what the convention is on this, if any? -Wikilackey 01:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- these are leftovers from before the article was split off Ogham. I see no reason for keeping them at all, since they add no information. dab (ᛏ) 11:24, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Display of UTF-8 chars in Firefox
This doesn't work, at least for me. I get a series of question marks, presumably in place of ogham characters. I'm going to try it with Internet Explorer now to see if there's a difference. --Mal 09:00, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Got side-tracked there! OK, so that doesn't necessarily explain why it also doesn't work for Internet Explorer. Is there a list of Web Browsers that the characters do work for anywhere..? Cheers. --Mal 10:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I downloaded a couple of fonts. Its not so much a "technical issue" as you don't necessarily have a font installed that's capable of displaying the characters.. apparently. Maybe that's "technical" for some right enough. Great page for this is here.
The ogham characters look tiny on the page though - I have to increase the font size in my browser quite a bit in order to see the individual strokes etc. --Mal 10:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
