| Summary : Unicode serif font family for typography
|
Description :
Charis is similar to Bitstream Charter, one of the first fonts designed
specifically for laser printers. It is highly readable and holds up well
in less-than-ideal reproduction environments. It also has a full set of styles
- regular, italic, bold, bold italic - and so is more useful in general
publishing than Doulos SIL. Charis is a serif, proportionally-spaced font
optimized for readability in long printed documents.
The goal for this product was to provide a single Unicode-based font family
that would contain a comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for almost any
Roman- or Cyrillic-based writing system, whether used for phonetic
or orthographic needs. In addition, there is provision for other characters
and symbols useful to linguists. This font makes use of state-of-the-art font
technologies to support complex typographic issues, such as the need
to position arbitrary combinations of base glyphs and diacritics optimally.
