========================
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your interest in the Doulos SIL font.
|
|
We hope you find them useful!
|
|
|
|
Doulos SIL provides glyphs for a wide range of Latin and Cyrillic characters.
|
|
Please read the documentation on the website
|
|
(http://scripts.sil.org/DoulosSILfont) to see what ranges are supported.

TIPS
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
As this font is distributed at no cost, we are unable to provide a
|
|
commercial level of personal technical support. The font has, however,
|
|
been through some testing on various platforms to be sure it works in most
|
|
situations. In particular, it has been tested and shown to work on Windows XP,
|
|
Windows Vista and Windows 7. Graphite capabilities have been tested on
|
|
Graphite-supported platforms.
|
|
|
|
If you do find a problem, please do report it to fonts@sil.org.
|
|
We can't guarantee any direct response, but will try to fix reported bugs in
|
|
future versions. Make sure you read through the
|
|
Doulos SIL FAQ (http://scripts.sil.org/ComplexRomanFontFAQ).
|
|
|
|
Many problems can be solved, or at least explained, through an understanding
|
|
of the encoding and use of the fonts. Here are some basic hints:
|
|
|
|
Encoding:
|
|
The fonts are encoded according to Unicode, so your application must support
|
|
Unicode text in order to access letters other than the standard alphabet.
|
|
Most Windows applications provide basic Unicode support. You will, however,
|
|
need some way of entering Unicode text into your document.
|
|
|
|
Keyboarding:
|
|
This font does not include any keyboarding helps or utilities. It uses the
|
|
built-in keyboards of the operating system. You will need to install the
|
|
appropriate keyboard and input method for the characters of the language you
|
|
wish to use. If you want to enter characters that are not supported by any
|
|
system keyboard, the Keyman program (www.tavultesoft.com) can be helpful
|
|
on Windows systems. Also available for Windows is MSKLC
|
|
(http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx).
|
|
For other platforms, KMFL (http://kmfl.sourceforge.net/),
|
|
XKB (http://www.x.org/wiki/XKB) or Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele)
|
|
can be helpful.
|
|
|
|
If you want to enter characters that are not supported by any system
|
|
keyboard, and to access the full Unicode range, we suggest you use
|
|
gucharmap, kcharselect on Ubuntu or similar software.
|
|
|
|
Another method of entering some symbols is provided by a few applications such
|
|
as Adobe InDesign or OpenOffice.org. They can display a glyph palette or input
|
|
dialog that shows all the glyphs (symbols) in a font and allow you to enter
|
|
them by clicking on the glyph you want.
|
|
|
|
Rendering:
|
|
This font is designed to work with any of two advanced font technologies,
|
|
Graphite or OpenType. To take advantage of the advanced typographic
|
|
capabilities of this font, you must be using applications that provide an
|
|
adequate level of support for Graphite or OpenType. See "Applications
|
|
that provide an adequate level of support for SIL Unicode Roman fonts"
|
|
(http://scripts.sil.org/Complex_AdLvSup).
