Language / Uniquely Polish Historic Script? [10]

Jon, thank you! This obviously isn't perfect but I can definitely fiddle around (cut, copy, paste, etc.) with the letters in the image a bit in order to put all these in the proper word order and create new images from that. Appreciate it!

This is for Jon or for anyone else who may be reading this, but is there any way I may be able to get the Old Polish script available from somewhere online as a font for use in Word and other Microsoft Office programs?

Thanks,
Brian

Language / Uniquely Polish Historic Script? [10]

Hi all,

First time poster.....sorry if I don't have this under the correct subforum - posting this here as it seems this would be the best location for my question.

Anyways, as my username indicates, I have partial Polish ancestry, with the remainder of my background Irish and German. And I've recently thought of a way to celebrate that heritage, maybe just as a poster I design to decorate my place, maybe I put it on my body as a tattoo(s)......well at least in an area(s) that would be covered by a short sleeved shirt so I can maintain a professional appearance at work. See the attached image for my (very) basic start.

Although I have the German and Irish words in a script that anyone could easily identify as a historic one for each of those nationalities/languages, I have had no idea what to do to find one that could be identified as equivalently Polish. An online search for such a historic Polish font has turned up nothing......does one by any chance even exist? Preferably a font I'd be able to download for use in Microsoft Office, so I can add it to the Microsoft Word document from which the attached image derives.

And if for any reason I may be missing any diacritical marks from any of the Polish words in that image, I'd greatly appreciate any clarifications. I want to make sure that this is perfect, especially if I decide to go all in and put some variation of this on my body.

Thanks!

Brian
