Slavacomp Fonts Converter

This paper presents a fonts converter that was developed as a part of the Freiburg project on historical corpus linguistics. The tool named SlaVaComp-Konvertierer converts Church Slavonic texts digitized with non-Unicode fonts into the Unicode format without any loss of information contained in the original file and without damage to the original formatting. It is suitable for the conversion of all idiosyncratic fonts not only Church Slavonic and therefore can be used not only in Palaeoslavistic, but also in all historical and philological studies.
