Description-en: smart Unicode fonts for Latin and Cyrillic scripts (tight spacing version)
The goal for Charis SIL 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 Charis 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).
.
Four fonts from this typeface family are included in this release:
* Charis SIL Compact Regular
* Charis SIL Compact Bold
* Charis SIL Compact Italic
* Charis SIL Compact Bold Italic
.
Charis 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.
