Current versions

The latest version of the fonts is always available from the Gentium download page as a .zip archive for all major platforms.

This font package is also available in the SIL software repository for Ubuntu. Users can subscribe to this software repository and get current versions and updates automatically.

Gentium Plus is also available through the TypeTuner Web service, which allows you to choose among the smart font features and download a font with those features preset. This enables them to work in many applications that do not make use of Graphite or OpenType Stylistic Sets. TypeTuner Web currently uses version 5 fonts, however we will be working to update it to use the newest version 6 fonts soon.

Version 5 subsets and modified variants

Special versions of Gentium version 5 were created for specific uses. Those fonts still work and remain available:

We do not intend to update these fonts to version 6, however they should continue to work. If you have a need for any of these fonts to be updated to version 6 please contact us.

Previous versions

Previous versions remain available from our Previous Versions archive.
