%\section{Introduction}
%
% The \textsf{staves} package provides a simple interface to the
% \textsf{icelandic} font designed by this author. The font contain all
% the ``magical'' staves that are described at the Web site of the
% Icelandic Museum of Sorcery and Witchcraft (see
% \url{http://www.galdrasyning.is/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=5&id=18&Itemid=60}
% for more details). In addition, the font contains all the Icelandic runes
% as they are presented at the same Web pages (see \url{http://www.galdrasyning.is/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=229&Itemid=131} for more details).
%
% The various staves can be accessed by simple commands that have the following form
% \begin{center}
% \texttt{\char`\\icelandicStave\textit{CCC}}
% \end{center}
% where \texttt{\textit{CCC}} is an uppercase roman numeral. It would be possible to
% give ``real'' names to these glyph access commands, but since these staves do not
% have a name to the best of my language, I opted to use this naming scheme.

%
% The package defines the command |\runictext|, which typesets its argument using the
% \textsf{icelandic} font. In Table~\ref{unicode} the reader can see which runic letters
% are supported and to which letters they are associated to.
%
% \section{The Source Code}
%
% Since we want to have everything in a single file, we will start by announcing the
% \textsf{icelandic} font to \LaTeX.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*staves>
\DeclareFontSubstitution{U}{icelandic}{m}{n}
\DeclareFontFamily{U}{icelandic}{\hyphenchar\font=-1}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Now, we make sure that all font switching commands will default to the
% \textsf{icelandic} font:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{icelandic}{m}{n}{%
  <-> icelandic }{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{icelandic}{m}{sl}{
  <-> ssub * icelandic/m/n}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{icelandic}{m}{it}{
  <-> ssub * icelandic/m/n}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{icelandic}{m}{sc}{
  <-> ssub * icelandic/m/n}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{icelandic}{bx}{n}{
  <-> ssub * icelandic/m/n}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{icelandic}{bx}{sl}{
  <-> ssub * icelandic/m/n}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{icelandic}{bx}{it}{
  <-> ssub * icelandic/m/n}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{icelandic}{bx}{sc}{
  <-> ssub * icelandic/m/n}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Also, we need to define a command that will select the \textsf{icelandic} font:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\icelandicFamily{\fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{icelandic}\selectfont}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Next, we define the command that will allow users to typeset icelandic runes:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\runictext}[1]{{\icelandicFamily #1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% And now we are ready to define the various glyph access commands for the various
% ``magical'' staves.
