Description: smart Unicode font for Latin and Cyrillic scripts (tight spacing version)
The goal for the Doulos SIL font is to provide a single Unicode-based font
family that would contain a comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for
almost any Roman- or Cyrillic-based writing system, whether used for
phonetic or orthographic needs. In addition, there is provision for other
characters and symbols useful to linguists.
.
The Doulos SIL font contains near-complete coverage of all the characters
defined in Unicode 7.0 for Latin and Cyrillic. In total, over 3,600 glyphs are
included, providing support for over 2,300 characters as well as a large number
of ligated character sequences (e.g., contour tone letters used in phonetic
transcription of tonal languages).
.
In addition, alternately-designed glyphs are also provided for a number of
characters for use in particular contexts. The glyphs are accessible in
applications that support advanced font technologies, specifically the Graphite
or OpenType technologies. These technologies are also utilized to provide
automatic positioning of diacritics relative to base characters in arbitrary
base+diacritic combinations (including combinations involving multiple
diacritics).
.
Doulos SIL is a TrueType font with "smart font" capabilities added using the
Graphite, OpenType(r), and AAT font technologies. This means that complex
typographic issues such as formation of ligatures or automatic positioning of
diacritics relative to base characters in arbitrary base+diacritic combinations
(including combinations involving multiple diacritics) are handled by the font.
In addition, alternately-designed glyphs are also provided for a number of
characters for use in particular contexts. These capabilities are only
available if you are running an application that provides an adequate level of
support for one of these smart font technologies.
.
This is the compact version with tighter line spacing.
