This -information should be distributed along with the Gentium fonts and any -derivative works. - - -Basic Font Information ----------------------- - -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), -TDC2003 (2003). - -Gentium provides glyphs for a wide range of Latin and Greek characters. The -additional 'extended' Latin letters are designed to naturally harmonize with -the traditional 26 ones. Diacritics are treated with careful thought and -attention to their use. Gentium also supports both ancient and modern Greek, -including a number of alternate forms. It currently supports the following -ranges of Unicode 3.0 (completely unless noted): - -Range Description -U+0020-U+007F Basic Latin -U+00A0-U+00FF Latin-1 Supplement -U+0100-U+017F Latin Extended-A -U+0180-U+021F Latin Extended-B -U+0222-U+0233 Latin Extended-B (continued) -U+0250-U+02AD IPA Extensions -U+02B0-U+02FF Spacing Modifier Letters -U+0300-U+036F Combining Diacritical Marks -U+0370-U+03D5 Greek (not including archaic or Coptic) -U+1E00-U+1EFF Latin Extended Additional -U+1F00-U+1FFF Greek Extended -U+2000-U+203A General Punctuation (partial) -U+2070-U+209F Superscripts and Subscripts -U+20A0-U+20CF Currency Symbols (partial) -U+2100-U+214F Letterlike Symbols (only a couple) - -Gentium Regular also includes some Cyrillic glyphs, but they are only early -drafts. A future version will include a completely revised set, including -italic, and will expand the support for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic to Unicode -4.1. - - -ChangeLog ---------- -(This should list both major and minor changes, most recent first.) - -24th June 2011 (David Raymond) Gentium version 1.03 -- Changed licensing to the SIL Open Font License version 1.1 - -28 Nov 2005 (Victor Gaultney) Gentium version 1.02 -- Changed licensing to the SIL Open Font License -- Included FontLab source files -- Fixed some duplicate PostScript glyphs names -- Fixed italic angle - -19 Sep 2003 (Victor Gaultney) Gentium version 1.01 -- Maintenance release focused on changing internal font -- Information to reflect the changeover to an SIL project -- There is only one bug fix - the Greek mu PS name was changed to try and fix -a display/printing problem. There is still no manual hinting - -16 Sep 2002 (Victor Gaultney) Gentium version 1.00 -- First public release -- No manual hinting is included in this version. Some has been done - with -good results - but is not yet complete enough. - - -Information for Contributors ----------------------------- - -The main point of version 1.03 is to enable modification via the OFL 1.1 and to -establish a means for people to contribute to the project. For information -on what you're allowed to change or modify, consult the OFL and OFL-FAQ. The -OFL-FAQ also gives a very general rationale regarding why you would want to -contribute to the project. - -Anyone can make their own modified version of Gentium (using a different -name), but SIL International will continue to maintain and develop the -canonical version of the Gentium fonts. As the package maintainer, we warmly -welcome contributions. Here are some things to keep in mind: - -Format: We are open to contributions in various formats, but if you want to -maximise the chances of us including your work, please make it available to -us (via email or a URL) as either a FontLab database (preferred) or a -PostScript Type 1 (or OT-CFF) font. - -Source files: We're including FontLab databases used in developing -the fonts. The current fonts, however, were not solely built from -this FontLab database, so a simple "Generate Font" will not give you an -identical result. These databases are provided not as canonical source but -as an aid to anyone who might find it useful to have access to the -PostScript-style curves before they were turned into TrueType ones. BTW - -although only two databases are provided, they contain all the Alt glyphs. -In the future we may be making our 'source' available in three formats: -OpenType (TrueType), OT-CFF, and FontLab. - -Copyright attribution: If you submit something for inclusion in the main -Gentium fonts, we will ask you to affirm that it is your original work, and -ask you to assign the copyright of your work to SIL International. This is -to ensure that future releases can be made under improved versions of the -OFL without needing to track you down for further permission. This follows -the same principle used by the FSF. Keep in mind that we are a -not-for-profit organization committed to free/libre and open source -software, and that any contributions incorporated in the fonts will always -be available under the OFL or a similar license. - -Quality: Because we want to be able to guarantee a high level of quality for -the primary Gentium fonts, we will review submissions carefully. Please -don't be discouraged if we do not include a submission for this reason, or -ask you to make specific revisions. - -What types of contributions are welcomed now (some more than others): -- Old style figures -- Small caps (although we would want such done for *all* caps, not just A-Z) -- Specifications for smart Greek code (write us about this) -- Coptic -- Historic/Archaic Cyrillic -- Glyphs used for ancient Greek text study (but not alphabetic ones, like -the digamma) -- Mathematical glyphs -- OpenType code and glyphs for on-the-fly fraction creation -- Additional scripts (Armenian, etc.?), and any needed OT/Graphite/AAT code -- Other things that we may have once told you we didn't have time to do :-) - -What is not needed at this point: -- Revisions to the basic letters or their spacing -- Cyrillic revisions or additions. These are already in process -- Other weights (Bold, Bold italic). We already have some work done on this -- Alphabetic Ancient Greek glyphs (digamma, etc.). These are done and are -waiting for the next release -- Unicode 4.1 additions for Latin. We have these already in the pipeline -- General Latin/Cyrillic OpenType/Graphite/AAT code - we already have this -(see our Doulos SIL project) -- Kerning - there is some in place -- Hinting - although if you could offer to do some hinting, let us know :-) - -So why didn't we include some of this in this release? The only change for -1.02 is the new licensing model. We thought that it was important to get a -revised font out before we had completed the next big revision. We also -didn't want to hold up release until we had everything neat and tidy :-) - -When submissions will be included: We hope to have a revised version of the -Regular and Italic fonts (including full Cyrillic) completed by mid-2006. To -do this we will need submissions early in the year. Other weights will -follow after that. - -WARNINGS: The details of the source files and build procedures will be -changing radically before the next release, so do not spend too much time -working on systems that depend on the current FontLab database information. -Also - the Cyrillic glyphs in the regular font are very early prototypes and -will be changing completely. So don't bother to modify them! - - -Acknowledgements ----------------- -(Here is where contributors can be acknowledged. If you make modifications -be sure to add your name (N), email (E), web-address (W) and description -(D). This list is sorted by last name in alphabetical order.) - -N: Victor Gaultney -E: victor_gaultney@sil.org -W: http://www.sil.org/~gaultney/ -D: Original Designer of Latin, Greek and Cyrillic glyphs - -The Gentium project is maintained by SIL International. - -For more information please visit the Gentium page on SIL International's -Computers and Writing systems website: -http://scripts.sil.org/gentium - -Or send an email to <gentium AT sil DOT org> |
