  Below is a link to download a pdf of the entire Voynich text based on Glen Claston's (GC’s) v101 and his font. I find his transcription to be the most reliable visually and, based on other contributions of course, he has done a remarkable job in making sure the Voynich text is rendered visually faithful to the original.
  
  However, I did not find a file including the entire Voynich text rendered in its own font, at least not as prominently as it deserves to be accessible, and it may be my fault since it must be somewhere I assume; so, sorry if I missed it. I hope this can be more accessible and helpful (I am attaching a Word version of the same in case you want to correct any mistakes I have made in preparing it).

  I have the following note also at the beginning of the pdf: The following is the text of the Voynich manuscript based on Glen Claston (GC) v101 transliteration (v. 2a), available at You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (a blog by René Zandbergen) using the Voynich font typeface created by Glen Claston and available at You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (“Voynich Manuscript Font courtesy Glenn Claston, 2005, distributed in the public domain, corrected for UTF-8 by William Porquet”). The extra markings in v101 have been deleted to make this a simple line by line rendition of the Voynich manuscript text, identified by its folio page numbers starting each line or text.
  
  I don’t think the Voynich text can ever be deciphered or read meaningfully without paying intimate and inseparably close attention to its elements’ visual presentations. Transcriptions, if missing the visual correspondence, and any statistical studies of them without the visual features considered, can be very limiting or even misleading in any contributions they can make statistically and they will inevitably result in slop, artificial or human.

  Thanks Bluetoes101. You are of course entitled to your opinion. I disagree. In hermeneutics, what is absent but expected to be there can be very important interpretively. In particular cutting pages out after binding should raise at least some red flags, but entire quires?!
  
  And then assume the manuscript when complete would be the same as when incomplete, as far as information given? It does not make good sense to me. 
  
  How can anybody claim something was not originally in the manuscript when so many bifolia are missing or some literally cut out? It should not take forensic specialists to raise red flags about it. We are all are studying an INCOMPLETE Voynich manuscript. It should never be forgotten. 
  
  I hope you will succeed in your way of going about it.

  I can guarantee you I will never succeed. I don't see how pages I cant see will help me, but I guess we will have to agree to disagree. 
  Good luck on your journey also.
