  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.
