It supports almost the complete range of Unicode characters for these scripts, including a comprehensive range of diacritics and a large set of symbols useful for linguistics and literacy work. Smart font routines automatically adjust the position of diacritics to support and optimize arbitrary base+diacritic combinations. + +For more information on the visual characteristics of the font family see [Design](design.md). + +For a comparison between this and other SIL fonts, see [Comparison of Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic fonts](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/support/comparison/). + +## Future plans + +These fonts are actively maintained and improved, and recent changes to their development process will enable more frequent releases. + +The highest priorities for future additions and enhancements are mainly driven by: + +- New additions to [The Unicode Standard](https://unicode.org/) +- Requests from language communities using the fonts +- Needs of the linguistic and academic community + +Although some expert typographic features are supported (e.g. small caps), those are a lesser priority. + +Please send us your requests using the [form on the font website](https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/).

The Greek characters that are included are there to support various notational systems (linguistic, logical, mathematical). Other fonts, such as [Gentium Plus](http://software.sil.org/gentium) provide complete Greek script support. + +#### *Will you add full Greek script support?* + +We have no plans to do that, however the [OFL licensing](https://scripts.sil.org/OFL_web) allows anyone to add Greek support and freely distribute the font to others. It is even possible to [contribute that work back to the project](developer.md) and share it with others. + +#### *Isn’t Charis SIL just a copy of Charter?* + +Charis SIL is very closely based on the design of Bitstream Charter, however the glyphs were completely redrawn based only on visual reference to Charter. There are some significant design differences in the serif structure, proportions, diacritics, and Cyrillic. The design was also adjusted and extended to cover a much wider range of characters and publishing needs. diff --git a/fonts/charissil/doc/features.md b/fonts/charissil/doc/features.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e5ff6e0a84 --- /dev/null +++ b/fonts/charissil/doc/features.md @@ -0,0 +1,371 @@ +--- +title: Charis SIL - Font Features +fontversion: 6.001 +--- + +Charis SIL is an OpenType-enabled font family that supports the Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
