* Package name : ttf-sil-gentium-plus Version : 1.502 Upstream Author : Victor Gaultney, Annie Olsen, Iska Routamaa, SIL font engineers, SIL International * URL : http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium * License : Open Font License 1.1 Description : extended Unicode smart font family for Latin/Greek/Cyrillic Description: Gentium ("belonging to the nations" in Latin) is a Unicode typeface family designed to enable the many diverse ethnic groups around the world who use the Latin script to produce readable, high-quality publications. The design is intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and visually attractive. Gentium has won a "Certificate of Excellence in Typeface Design" in two major international typeface design competitions: bukva:raz! (2001) and TDC2003 (2003). Gentium Plus is based on the original Gentium design. However, it now has the full OpenType and Graphite support that Doulos SIL and Charis SIL contain — including full IPA support! The goal for this product is to provide a single Unicode-based font family that contains a comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for almost any Roman- or Cyrillic-based writing system, whether used for phonetic or orthographic needs, and provide a matching Greek face. In addition, there is provision for other characters and symbols useful to linguists. This font makes use of state-of-the-art font technologies to support complex typographic issues, such as the need to position arbitrary combinations of base glyphs and diacritics optimally. Work is ongoing to provide bold and bold-italic weights, as well as a complete book-weight family. The extended font sources are available in the source package and on the project website. Webfont versions and examples are also available. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
