Gentium ("belonging to the nations" in Latin) \ is a Unicode typeface family designed to enable the many \ diverse ethnic groups around the world who use the Latin \ script to produce readable, high-quality publications. \ The design is intended to be highly readable, reasonably \ compact, and visually attractive. Gentium has won a \ "Certificate of Excellence in Typeface Design" in two major \ international typeface design competitions: bukva:raz! \ (2001), TDC2003 (2003).

Gentium provides glyphs for \ a wide range of Latin and Greek characters. The additional \ 'extended' Latin letters are designed to naturally \ harmonize with the traditional 26 ones. Diacritics are \ treated with careful thought and attention to their use.

\

A future version will include a completely revised set, \ including italic and bold, and will expand the support \ for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic to Unicode 4.1.

font.GentiumAlt-Regular.ttf.description:

GentiumAlt is \ a version of the font with redesigned diacritics (flatter \ ones) to make it more suitable for use with stacking \ diacritics, and for languages such as Vietnamese. The \ Greek glyphs also use the Porsonic (single-curve) design \ for the circumflex. Since Gentium does not currently include \ any 'smart' rendering routines, there is no easy way to \ access these alternate diacritic shapes from within the \ regular Gentium font. The encoding of the fonts are the \ same, so the same text can be viewed with either one. \ There is also no problem with having both font families \ installed at the same time.
