+    (description "The Junicode font was developed for students and scholars of
+medieval Europe, but its large glyph repertoire also makes it useful as a
+general-purpose font.  Its visual design is based on the typography used by
+Oxford University Press in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.  The font
+implements the @acronym{MUFI, Medieval Unicode Font Initiative} recommendation
+for encoding ligatures, alternative letter forms, and other features of
+interest to medievalists using Unicode's Private Use Area.
+
+Junicode 2 is a major reworking of the font family.  Its OpenType programming
+has been rebuilt to support the creation of searchable, accessible electronic
+documents using the @acronym{MUFI} characters.  The family includes five
+weights and five widths in both Roman and Italic, plus variable fonts.")
