:It's not a font; putting A and E together was a fairly common spelling practice in older days and so they figured they'd put them together. It can be called either a ligature, a grapheme, or a digraph, depending on how they are joined. <font face="Times New Roman">'''[[User:Hexagon Theory|<span style="color:#ab2742;">«hexagon</span>]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|<span style="color:#60809f;">THEORY»</span>]]'''</font> 10:16, 16 November 2010 (UTC) |
