Description : ttf-arphic-sawndip contains the font Sawndip.ttf.
Apart from over 20 thousand unicode CJK characters the font
also contains over 7 thousand CJK characters not currently
in unicode. The font has been hosted by Guangxi University
since 2009. The package is a branch from ttf-arphic-uming
customised for Sawndip the traditional script used by the
Zhuang (Zhuang is the mother tongue of over 10 million
people in Guangxi China). A branch is requires because
there is a limit to the number of glyphs one ttf font can
contain.
Other : Sawndip.ttf is the most extensive open source Sawndip
font that is actively maintained and has several major
updates each year. Whilst some glyphs require improvement the
font because it is free and open source the font has an
increasing number end users. The font is also used by several
IMEs and a customised version of Linux.
