(ASCII) plain text in messages

The Ethiopic script is used for writing many of the languages of
Ethiopia and Eritrea. Ethiopic (U+1200..U+137F) was added to Unicode
3.0. Ethiopic Supplement (U+1380..U+139F) and Ethiopic Extended
(U+2D80..U+2DDF) were added to Unicode 4.1. Abyssinica SIL supports all
Ethiopic characters which are in Unicode including the Unicode 4.1
extensions. Some languages of Ethiopia are not yet able to be fully
represented in Unicode and, where necessary, we have included
non-Unicode characters in the Private Use Area (see Private-use (PUA)
characters supported by Abyssinica SIL).

Abyssinica SIL is based on Ethiopic calligraphic traditions. This
release is a regular typeface, with no bold or italic version available
or planned.

Charis is similar to Bitstream Charter, one of the first fonts designed
specifically for laser printers. It is highly readable and holds up
well in less-than-ideal reproduction environments. It also has a full
set of styles - regular, italic, bold, bold italic - and so is more
useful in general publishing than Doulos SIL. Charis is a serif,
proportionally-spaced font optimized for readability in long printed
documents.

The goal for this product was 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. 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.

Doulos is very similar to Times/Times New Roman, but only has a single
face - regular. It is intended for use alongside other Times-like fonts
where a range of styles (italic, bold) are not needed.

The Doulos SIL font contains near-complete coverage of all the
characters defined in Unicode 4.1 for Latin and Cyrillic. In total,
over 2,400 glyphs are included, providing support for over 1,900
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).

Some important issues with respect to Unicode need to be borne in mind.
Unicode is a character encoding and not a glyph encoding. Thus you
should endeavor to use the character that reflects your character needs
rather than finding a glyph that looks right and using its character
code. Thus, for example, there is only one code for CAPITAL ENG
(U+014A), although there are 4 different glyph shapes for this
character in use around the world. Therefore it is necessary to use
other means, such as user-selectable font features, to ensure that your
document displays the right glyph for the character that you are
anticipating. The advanced typographic capabilities mentioned above
provide this very capability.

As part of the Unicode development effort, the encoding for the Myanmar
script is being extended. These changes are being voted on as part of a
PDAM and as such fonts that support these encoding extensions are not
officially Unicode compliant with any current version of Unicode.
Padauk conforms to the proposed extensions in anticipation of their
being accepted into the Unicode standard.

Users wishing to find a font capable of supporting Unicode data today
should look elsewhere. They should also be made aware that assuming the
extensions are accepted into Unicode, then they will need to transcode
their data to continue to be conforming.

Padauk supports the Myanmar script extensions including changes to how
Burmese is encoded, Sgaw Karen and Mon. Padauk continues to be
developed so should you find problems with the font, please send
feedback to SIL_fonts@sil.org. Requirements

Padauk includes the necessary Graphite smarts to render Myanmar script
correctly. Thus if you want to use this font you will need the Graphite
libraries and Graphite capable applications or graphics extensions.

Terminus Font is designed for long (8 and more hours per day) work with
computers. Version 4.03 contains 538 characters, covering code pages
ISO8859-1/2/5/9/15/16, Windows-1250/1251/1252/1254,
IBM-437/852/855/866, KOI8-R/U/E/F, Bulgarian-MIK, Paratype-PT154/PT254
and Macintosh-Ukrainian, and also the vt100 and xterm pseudographic
characters.

The sizes and styles present are 8x14-normal, 8x14-bold,
8x14-EGA/VGA-bold, 8x16-normal, 8x16-bold, 8x16-EGA/VGA-bold,
10x20-normal, 10x20-bold, 12x24-normal, 12x24-bold and 14x28-normal
(which's weight is actually between normal and bold).
