Description: |-
Ethiopic script font designed in a calligraphic style
Abyssinica SIL has a single face - regular.
.
The goal for this product was to provide a single Unicode-based font
that would contain a comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for almost any
Ethiopic-based writing system. In addition, there is provision for other
Latin characters and symbols. This font makes use of state-of-the-art font
technologies to support the need to position arbitrary combinations of
*Ethiopic* base glyphs and combining marks optimally. It also supports
almost 200 kerning pairs. This version of the font also supports Stylistic
Sets and Character Variants (OpenType) or Features (Graphite) which make
glyph alternates available for a number of Ethiopic and punctuation
characters. See the AbyssinicaSILOpenTypeFontFeatures.pdf,
AbyssinicaSILGraphiteFontFeatures.pdf and AbyssinicaSILTypeTunerGuide.pdf
for details on applications which support Stylistic Sets and how to access
them.
.
One font from this typeface family is included in this release:
* Abyssinica SIL Regular

Webfont versions and HTML/CSS examples are also available.
