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. + +Four fonts from this typeface family are included in this release: + + * Charis SIL Regular + * Charis SIL Bold + * Charis SIL Italic + * Charis SIL Bold Italic + +The design of the basic character set of Charis SIL is similar (but not +identical) to Bitstream Charter, designed by Matthew Carter. The following +notice accompanied the Charter fonts: + +(c) Copyright 1989-1992, Bitstream Inc., Cambridge, MA. + +You are hereby granted permission under all Bitstream propriety rights to +use, copy, modify, sublicense, sell, and redistribute the 4 Bitstream +Charter (r) Type 1 outline fonts and the 4 Courier Type 1 outline fonts +for any purpose and without restriction; provided, that this notice is left +intact on all copies of such fonts and that Bitstream's trademark is +acknowledged as shown below on all unmodified copies of the 4 Charter +Type 1 fonts. + +BITSTREAM CHARTER is a registered trademark of Bitstream Inc. + +SIL International is the creator of the Charis SIL fonts, and is the owner +of all proprietary rights therein. + + +A Note Regarding the Open Font License and TypeTuner +---------------------------------------------------- + +The OFL prohibits the use of Reserved Font Names "Charis" and "SIL" in +the name of any font that is derived from the Original Version of Charis +SIL. However, SIL International (the Copyright Holder) grants through +this separate written agreement the right to use the Reserved Font Names +in any Modified Version of this font created by using TypeTuner as long +as the feature information contained in the Original Version is used, +unmodified, as the source for TypeTuner feature information, and +"Charis SIL" is not the resulting font family name. + +TypeTuner-produced fonts created in this manner are still bound by the +terms of the OFL. Specifically, the use of Reserved Font Names is +prohibited when making derivatives of a TypeTuner-produced font. Anyone +making a derivative of a TypeTuner font will need to find a different +name. For example a TypeTuner-produced font may be named +"Charis SIL Literacy SomeFarAwayPlace" but a derivative of that font made +with other tools would not be allowed to use the "Charis" and "SIL" +Reserved Font Names and would have to be named something like "Grace Foo". + + +ChangeLog +--------- +(This should list both major and minor changes, most recent first.) + +27 Oct 2014 (SIL NRSI

+---------------------------- + +The release of Charis SIL version 4.0.02 (Version 4.002) (and any subsequent +versions) under the OFL license provides a means for people to modify the fonts +to meet their needs and contribute to the project. For information on what +you're allowed to change or modify, consult the OFL and OFL-FAQ. + +Anyone can make their own modified version of Charis SIL (using a different +name), but SIL International will continue to maintain and develop the +canonical version of the Charis SIL fonts. As the package maintainer, we +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 are not yet making the extended source files available, because +our build system is rather complex and difficult to reproduce. We hope to +include an easier process in the future. + +Copyright attribution: If you submit something for inclusion in the main +Charis SIL 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 Charis SIL 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. + +Types of contributions: If you wish to make a contribution - a set of +additional glyphs, scripts, code, etc. - please contact us before you do any +work to see if it is a contribution we currently need. Every addition adds +to the complexity of the project and needs to be carefully planned. This +also avoids two people working on the same type of addition at the same time. + +Linux packages: Please contact the upstream maintainer of the various +packages - nicolas_spalinger@sil.org - if you want to help package or +maintain a package. + +When submissions will be included: We plan to revise the fonts when major +updates are needed (eg new versions of Unicode). If you wish to make +submissions, contact us on the timing. + +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).
