Documentation for the fonts is available on Gentium website +(http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium), including details on what ranges are +supported. + +Gentium Plus is released under the SIL Open Font License. + +See the OFL and OFL-FAQ for details of the SIL Open Font License. +See the FONTLOG for information on this and previous releases. +See the GENTIUM-FAQ for answers to common questions about the Gentium fonts +See the website (http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium) for further documentation. +See the SIL Unicode Roman FAQ (http://scripts.sil.org/ComplexRomanFontFAQ) +for frequently asked questions and their answers regarding SIL's Roman fonts. + +TYPETUNER +05 Oct 2011 +========= + +This package contains a TypeTuned version of the Gentium Plus font. + +The TypeTuner settings file used to generate the enclosed font +is included in the package as GentiumPlus-feat_set_tuned.xml. +By inspecting this file with a text editor you can determine +which alternate behaviors have been enabled. + + +TIPS +==== + +As this font is distributed at no cost, we are unable to provide a +commercial level of personal technical support. The font has, however, +been through some testing on various platforms to be sure it works in most +situations. In particular, it has been tested and shown to work on Windows +XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Graphite capabilities have been tested +on Graphite-supported platforms. + +If you do find a problem, please do report it to fonts@sil.org. +We can't guarantee any direct response, but will try to fix reported bugs in +future versions. Make sure you read through the +SIL Unicode Roman FAQ (http://scripts.sil.org/ComplexRomanFontFAQ). + +Many problems can be solved, or at least explained, through an understanding +of the encoding and use of the fonts. Here are some basic hints: + +Encoding: +The fonts are encoded according to Unicode, so your application must support +Unicode text in order to access letters other than the standard alphabet. +Most Windows applications provide basic Unicode support. You will, however, +need some way of entering Unicode text into your document. + +Keyboarding: +This font does not include any keyboarding helps or utilities. It uses the +built-in keyboards of the operating system. You will need to install the +appropriate keyboard and input method for the characters of the language you +wish to use. If you want to enter characters that are not supported by any +system keyboard, the Keyman program (www.tavultesoft.com) can be helpful +on Windows systems. Also available for Windows is MSKLC +(http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx). +For Linux systems such as Ubuntu, KMFL (http://kmfl.sourceforge.net/) +is available. Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele) is available for +Mac OS X versions 10.2 and later. + +For other platforms, KMFL (http://kmfl.sourceforge.net/), +XKB (http://www.x.org/wiki/XKB) or Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele) +can be helpful. + +If you want to enter characters that are not supported by any system +keyboard, and to access the full Unicode range, we suggest you use +gucharmap, kcharselect on Ubuntu or similar software. + +Another method of entering some symbols is provided by a few applications such +as Adobe InDesign or OpenOffice.org. They can display a glyph palette or input +dialog that shows all the glyphs (symbols) in a font and allow you to enter +them by clicking on the glyph you want. + +Rendering: +This font is designed to work with Graphite or Opentype advanced font +technologies. To take advantage of the advanced typographic +capabilities of this font, you must be using applications that provide an +adequate level of support for Graphite or OpenType. See "Applications +that provide an adequate level of support for SIL Unicode Roman fonts" +(http://scripts.sil.org/Complex_AdLvSup). + + +CONTACT +======== +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@sil.org + |
