This is probably pointless since Diane has stated that she won't be reading our replies, but it's Literae Oblongatae, not elongata.
A simple Google search for the right term would turn up a myriad of examples of them...
And JKP, you raise a good point about not being able to view the work she refers to, which makes all these claims of precedence unverifiable.
Although in the case of her claim to have invented the term literae oblongatae, there's really not even any need to check, as this term has been used by medievalists since the 19thC... I guess that makes the claim a kind of... ascender fantasy ?
