Translation for the word "Adore"
Merriam webster says that the word "adore" as in "I adore my daughter" comes from the Latin word "adorare"
I'm wondering if this is correct, and also if you might be able suggest an authentic looking old type Latin font.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Macrons are only intended as reminders for scholars ("oh right that's a long I! OH NO THERE GOES THE POEM") in pronouncing Latin aloud, scanning poetry etc. The Romans wrote without macrons. if you're just doing a short phrase you should memorize which vowels are long yourself so that you can pronounce it correctly but forget about macrons.

After a bit of searching, I found these fonts that are also pretty good, Chanticleer Roman
http://www.searchfreefonts.com/fonts/c7.htm
I also found a commercial font, but a very excellent one-

Does anyone know of any free fonts that imitate this 'inscribed' style like above, with the tailed "Q"?

If you have Microsoft Word 2000 (or up... I'm not sure) you can type it in (laboriously) by going to Insert > Symbol. There should be a character map including vowels with macrons and carons (carons are only used when scanning poetry; short vowels can be in long syllables; the caron marks out a short syllable e.g. ĕ. It is not to be confused with the háček, which has a pointed apex, while the caron is curved) and lots of others (Hebrew, basic Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic).marcusjb wrote:I just checked dictionary.com and it says that its from adorare with a line over the "o" and second "a" (i'm sorry, but I don't know how to type those in here)

There is also, under Windows 95-XP, a program on the System tools menu (Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools) called "Character Map"
With it you can see the table of character for any font on your system and copy/paste them. You can also get the keyboard sequence to use to enter them. Usually it is the ALT+<number>. for example, ALT+0167 = §
