Many thanks for the links Ingrid, especially the first one. The author even has java exercise tutorials for identifying letters from various styles, exactly what I had been looking for! Thanks once again.
Try these. I should organize my links, I know there is another good one, but I can’t find it.

Dear God. These exercises are impossible. Has anyone tried the ‘Diploma of Charlemagne A.D.781’?
P.S. Is it bad that I’m rather proud that my simple post has spawned such copious and diffuse response? Hubris I believe it’s called? Regardless: thanks all, for making me feel welcome. ειλικρινα.
Welcome you? Isn’t it obvious we were trying to scare you off? Just kidding

It’s funny – during lower division Latin, reading Medieval Latin (Esp. St. Jerome) was the greatest pleasure in the world after wading through Cicero. (For some reason my Prof. didn’t give me passages from the Vulgate until after going through several of Wheelock’s Loci Immutati… go figure) But these enscriptions make me want to end myself in a manner akin to Hemingway: frustrated, gun to my face, late at night, utterly alone; in the rain. Cripes.

Hey now, let’s get not carried away. Put the gun down, back away from the tablet, parse the sentence…
