Description: Smart Unicode fonts for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic (tight spacing version)
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). The goal 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.
.
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.
.
Gentium Plus Compact is a dedicated derivative with line spacing metrics
modified to "Tight" via TypeTuner. More font sources (including web
fonts and corresponding examples) are available in the main Gentium Plus
release.
