The Shafarik Unicode font, named after Pavel Jozef Šafárik (1795–1861), Slovak-born scholar and one of the founders of modern Slavic philology, is a specialized font intended for an academic presentation of Old Church Slavonic (OCS) texts written in both the Cyrillic or Glagolitic alphabets. Since OCS texts have several differences in presentation from the methodology used for later Church Slavonic (CS) texts, the user should become familiar with these particular details of font usage.
One of the convenient flexible features of the Shafarik font is the ability to graphically represent variant letter forms without changing the base values of individual letters. This allows for more accurately reproducing OCS texts where there is a diversity of textual forms, without sacrificing the ability to alphabetically sort the text or search for a word using base letter values. This is accomplished by typesetting a letter (or number) or even a whole word or paragraph, and then applying a Stylistic Set (ss01, ss02, etc.) or a Stylistic Alternate (salt). (In LibreOffice, in the small window at the top which displays the active font “Shafarik”, one can apply the Stylistic Sets or Stylistic Alternate by adding a suffix, so that the font name is changed to “Shafarik:ss01”, “Shafarik:ss02” or “Shafarik:salt”, etc.)
