  I believe that this should have been discussed a lot, and many people have noticed this. But I could not find much information, so I started a thread to ask my questions.
  
  When I was checking f67r2 , I noticed that there are some texts in red. I suddenly realized that most texts were in black. The only red texts I could remember were the symbols on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and these red texts on f67r2 .
  
     
  
  My questions are:
  

  1. Is there any other texts in red color?
     
  2. Is there any other non-black texts?
     
  3. What might they mean?

  Hello Zhe,
  
  it is no so unusual to see this, but it is a bit more unusual that it appears only once in the Voynich MS.
  There are some examples of this in Pal.Lat.1417, which is older:

  See e.g. fol. 5v or fol.10r

  No, I’ve never read this post before.
  
  It gave me a lot of information. What a great post!

  It is great to confirm that the red ink is used only one in the VMS.
  
  The book is a great example of mixing black texts and red texts!
  
  And, it drawings are also in black and red, and black and red only. It looks like what we call 2-color printing nowadays.
