Octagonal lettering used in Elektuur in the 1980s.

This SVG stroke font can be used with the Hershey Text extension included in Inkscape 1.1.1 to recreate the octagonal geometric lettering used in Elektuur in 1983-1985. It contains lower-case letters only but adds an updated e (somewhat like the one used since the end of 2012).

To install oktuur.svg, copy the file into the svg_fonts folder as configured in menu Edit→Preferences…→System in the Inkscape extensions field (usually something like Inkscape/share/inkscape/extensions/svg_fonts).

To use it, go to menu Extensions→Text→Hershey Text…
and configure:
  →Render
    Font face: Other (given below)
    Name/Path: oktuur.svg
    (→Apply)
And optionally go to:
  →Utilities
    Action: Generate glyph table in selected font
    →Apply

(Apache's Batik provides better SVG font support and displays all 3 included fonts.)
