For additional tips see the help page on <a href="https://software.sil.org/fonts/installation">Font installation</a>.</p> + <h2 id="keyboarding-and-character-set-support">Keyboarding and character set support</h2> + <p>These fonts do not include keyboards or other software for entering text. To type the symbols in these fonts use the keyboarding systems provided in your OS or use a separate utility. SIL’s <a href="https://keyman.com/">Keyman</a> provides keyboards for over 2000 languages and works on all major desktop and mobile platforms. For information on other keyboarding options see the overview at <a href="https://scriptsource.org/entry/ytr8g8n6sw">Keyboard Systems Overview (ScriptSource)</a>.</p> + <p>See <a href="charset.html">Character set support</a> for details of the Unicode characters supported by these fonts.</p> + <h2 id="rendering-and-application-support">Rendering and application support</h2> + <p>These fonts will work normally like any other fonts in most applications. If the writing system requires special diacritic positioning the application/OS will need to support OpenType.</p> + <p>These fonts also include extensive OpenType features for small caps, literacy forms, character alernates and language-specific preferences. For information on the specific features available in these fonts see <a href="features.html">Font features</a>.</p> + <p>If special font features are to be activated the application will need to provide a way to turn on the feature or choose the feature setting. Details of current application support, and specific techniques for activating features, are on the <a href="http://software.sil.org/fonts/features">Using Font Features</a> help page.</p> + <p>Although the current fonts support only OpenType, previous versions provided support for Graphite and AAT (Apple Advanced Typography) technologies. Graphite was supported through version 5 and AAT was supported up to version 4. These older versions remain available from our <a href="http://software.sil.org/charis/download/previous-versions">Previous Versions archive</a>.</p> + <h2 id="typetuner">TypeTuner</h2> + <p>The <a href="https://scripts.sil.org/ttw/fonts2go.cgi">TypeTuner Web</a> service allows you to choose smart font features and download a font with those features preset. This enables them to work in many applications that do not fully support OpenType.</p> + <h2 id="web-fonts">Web fonts</h2> + <p>Web font versions of these fonts (in WOFF and WOFF2 formats) are available in the <code>web</code> folder. These can be copied to a web server and used as fonts on web pages. A very basic HTML/CSS demo page is also included. For more information on the options and techniques available for using these fonts on web pages see <a href="http://software.sil.org/fonts/webfonts">Using SIL Fonts on Web Pages</a>.</p> + <h2 id="text-conversion">Text conversion</h2> + <p>These fonts are encoded according to <a href="http://unicode.org">The Unicode Standard</a>. If you have text that uses a legacy, non-Unicode encoding there are tools that can help you convert that text for use with Unicode fonts.
