| Abyssinica SIL font family | ||
| ======================== | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| This file provides detailed information on the Abyssinica SIL font. | ||
| This information should be distributed along with the Abyssinica SIL font and | ||
| any derivative works. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Basic Font Information | ||
| ---------------------- | ||
|
|
||
| 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 | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| A Note Regarding the Open Font License and TypeTuner | ||
| ---------------------------------------------------- | ||
|
|
||
| The OFL prohibits the use of Reserved Font Names "Abyssinica" and "SIL" in | ||
| the name of any font that is derived from the Original Version of | ||
| Abyssinica SIL. However, SIL International (the Copyright Holder) grants | ||
| through this separate written agreement the right to use the Reserved Font | ||
| Names in any Modified Version of this font created by using TypeTuner as | ||
| long as the feature information contained in the Original Version is used, | ||
| unmodified, as the source for TypeTuner feature information, and | ||
| "Abyssinica" is not the resulting font family name. | ||
|
|
||
| TypeTuner-produced fonts created in this manner are still bound by the | ||
| terms of the OFL. Specifically, the use of Reserved Font Names is | ||
| prohibited when making derivatives of a TypeTuner-produced font. Anyone | ||
| making a derivative of a TypeTuner font will need to find a different | ||
| name. For example a TypeTuner-produced font may be named | ||
| "Abyssinica SIL SomeFarAwayPlace" but a derivative of that font made | ||
| with other tools would not be allowed to use the "Abyssinica" and "SIL" | ||
| Reserved Font Names and would have to be named something like "Nations Ethiopic". | ||

|
||
| Information for Contributors | ||
| ---------------------------- | ||
|
|
||
| The release of Abyssinica SIL version 1.0 under the OFL license provides a | ||
| means for people to contribute to the project. For information on what | ||
| you're allowed to change or modify, consult the OFL and OFL-FAQ. The OFL-FAQ | ||
| also gives a very general rationale regarding why you would want to | ||
| contribute to the project. | ||
|
|
||
| Anyone can make their own modified version of Abyssinica SIL (using a different | ||
| name), but SIL International will continue to maintain and develop the | ||
| canonical version of the Abyssinica SIL font. As the package maintainer, we | ||
| warmly welcome contributions. Here are some things to keep in mind: | ||
|
|
||
| Format: We are open to contributions in various formats, but if you want to | ||
| maximise the chances of us including your work, please make it available to | ||
| us (via email or a URL) as either a FontLab database (preferred) or a | ||
| PostScript Type 1 (or OT-CFF) font. | ||
|
|
||
| Source files: We're including the FontLab database used in | ||
| developing the font. The font, however, was not solely built from | ||
| this FontLab database, so a simple "Generate Font" will not give you an | ||
| identical result. The database is provided not as canonical source but | ||
| as an aid to anyone who might find it useful to have access to it. For those | ||
| who may find them useful, we are also providing the Graphite GDL file | ||
| (ETKernComb.gdl), VOLT project files (Abyssinica_SIL.vtp, AboveMarks.vtg, | ||
| Kern.vtl, Mark.vtl) and an AAT perl script (abyssinica-aat.pl - this is run with | ||
| the .ttf and .xml files as input, and writes the actual table source, then runs one | ||
| of Apple's font tools to compile the tables and add them to the .ttf. (So it can | ||
| only be run on a Mac, with the Apple tools installed.)). | ||
|
|
||
| Copyright attribution: If you submit something for inclusion in the main | ||
| Abyssinica SIL fonts, we will ask you to affirm that it is your original work, | ||
| and ask you to assign the copyright of your work to SIL International. This | ||
| is to ensure that future releases can be made under improved versions of the | ||
| OFL without needing to track you down for further permission. This follows | ||
| the same principle used by the FSF. Keep in mind that we are a | ||
| not-for-profit organization committed to free/libre and open source | ||
| software, and that any contributions incorporated in the fonts will always | ||
| be available under the OFL or a similar license. | ||
|
|
||
| Quality: Because we want to be able to guarantee a high level of quality for | ||
| the primary Abyssinica SIL font, we will review submissions carefully. Please | ||
| don't be discouraged if we do not include a submission for this reason, or | ||
| ask you to make specific revisions. | ||
|
|
||
| Types of contributions: If you wish to make a contribution - a set of | ||
| additional glyphs, scripts, code, etc. - please contact us before you do any | ||
| work to see if it is a contribution we currently need. Every addition adds | ||
| to the complexity of the project and needs to be carefully planned. This | ||
| also avoids two people working on the same type of addition at the same time. | ||
|
|
||
| When submissions will be included: We do not have a current timetable for | ||
| when an updated font will be released. | ||

| Geʾez Manuscript Zemen font family | ||
| ================================== | ||
| Geʾez Manuscript Zemen typeface is derived directly from Abyssinica SIL v2.100 | ||
| and adds glyphs in the Unicode Private Use Area range F300 - F6AF, and will | ||
| later encode characters in the range F0000 - F017F. | ||
|
|
||
| The Geʾez Manuscript Zemen font has been produced by the EMUFI project which | ||
| in turn has the goal of identifying and supporting Ethiopic writing elements | ||
| that are not supported under the Unicode standard. The v1.0.0 inventory | ||
| covers: | ||
|
|
||
| 117 Bet Markers | ||
| 79 Qirts Notes | ||
| 72 Punctuation | ||
| 28 Ligatures | ||
| 5 Letter Variants | ||
| 400 Numerals | ||
