Usage of GNU FreeFont
|
||||
|
||||
Language scripts and faces
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
There are three faces (serif, sans-serif, and monospace), and four styles
|
||||
(regular, bold, cursive/italic, and bold cursive/italic) for each face.
|
||||
There is one font file per face/style combination: 12 files in total.
|
||||
|
||||
The letters for various languages, as well as specialized symbols, exist
|
||||
among the various font files, but they are not uniformly populated.
|
||||
All the fonts have complete support for Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek, as
|
||||
well as most of the extensions for those scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
At this time, serif regular has by far the largest number of letters, and
|
||||
supports the largest number of writing scripts. However there are writing
|
||||
scripts supported by the sans-serif but not by serif.
|
||||
|
||||
For an overview of which scripts and sets of symbols are supported by
|
||||
which face, see the FreeFont 'coverage' web page.
|
||||
|
||||
Font features
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
FreeFont has numerous font "features" that perform alterations to the basic
|
||||
letters of the font, replacing them with other letters, or positioning them
|
||||
with respect to other letters.
|
||||
|
||||
Many features are activated automatically, but in some environments, they
|
||||
present some user control. This documents those features with user control.
|
||||
|
||||
Language-specific features
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
Some OpenType font features are activated only when the text is specified to
|
||||
be of a certain language.
|
||||
|
||||
This is done in HTML by enclosing the text with a tag whose 'lang' attribute
|
||||
is set to the appropriate ISO 632.2 language code. In a word processor,
|
||||
any block of text can be given a language setting.
|
||||
|
||||
Latin
|
||||
-----
|
||||
Catalan ligature improving l·l
|
||||
Dutch ligatures for ij, IJ
|
||||
Sami localized form for letter Eng
|
||||
Turkish overrides ligatures fi ffi of Latin
|
||||
|
||||
Cyrillic
|
||||
--------
|
||||
Ukrainian ligature for double i-diaresis
|
||||
Serbian/Macedonian localized letters be, and more in italic
|
||||
Bulgarian style set for modern glyphs
|
||||
|
||||
Hebrew
|
||||
------
|
||||
Yiddish raised vowels under yo
|
||||
|
||||
Devanagari
|
||||
----------
|
||||
Sanskrit much larger set of ligatures
|
||||
|
||||
Hindi, Marathi better spacing of Western punctuation marks
|
||||
|
||||
Indic languages
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
The 'danda' character is encoded in Unicode only in the Devanagari range.
|
||||
When writing in scripts of other Indic languages, this same character is to
|
||||
be used. But the shapes and line thicknesses of glyphs vary slightly from
|
||||
one script to another, so the same glyph for 'danda' may not fit all scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
By specifying the language of the text, an appropriate glyph for 'danda'
|
||||
will be obtained.
|
||||
|
||||
Style sets
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
These replacements are activated by specifying a "Style Set".
|
||||
These features are accessible only from typesetting software.
|
||||
|
||||
Cyrillic Bulgarian modern (ss01)
|
||||
|
||||
Devanagari Bombay (ss02), Calcutta (ss03), Nepali (ss04)
|
||||
|
||||
Discretionary features
|
||||
======================
|
||||
These features are accessible only from typesetting software.
|
||||
Typically the user must specifically request them.
|
||||
|
||||
Unless otherwise noted, these are available only in FreeSerif.
|
||||
|
||||
Ligatures and substitutions
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Arabic, Armenian, Hebrew, German, Dutch
|
||||
|
||||
Small captials
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
A limited set of specially drawn small capital letters in Latin.
|
||||
|
||||
Superscript and subscript
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Transform a limited set of characters--mostly Latin letters and numerals--
|
||||
to versions well-sized and positioned as superscript or subscript.
|
||||
|
||||
Numeral styles
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
The default numerals of FreeSerif are mono-spaced and of even height.
|
||||
It also features proportionally-spaced numerals, and "old-style" numerals--
|
||||
those which vary in height and sometimes go beneath the baseline.
|
||||
These can be had at discretion.
|
||||
|
||||
Diagonal fractions
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A limited set of diagonal fraction substitutions are available at discretion.
|
||||
The set is more than what is encoded in Unicode.
|
||||
They work with the ASCII slash or the mathematical slash U+2215.
|
||||
The transform a sequence "number-slash-number" to a diagonal form.
|
||||
|
||||
Zero
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
A slashed form of the numeral zero is available at discretion.
|
||||
Available in all faces.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternative characters
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
FreeSerif has some listings of alternatives for specific characters.
|
||||
Again this is use primarily in specialized typesetting software.
|
||||
|
||||
Greek, Latin
|
||||
|
||||
Use in LaTeX
|
||||
============
|
||||
It is possible to use Unicode fonts in recent LaTeX implementations, but in
|
||||
LuaTeX http://www.luatex.org/ and
|
||||
XeTeX http://tug.org/xetex/
|
||||
it is particularly easy to use Unicode text, and to enable font features.
|
||||
Recent versions of these systems use the 'fontspec' package to choose fonts
|
||||
and features.
|
||||
|
||||
A very simple document might contain the lines
|
||||
