+Language scripts and faces
4 
+==========================
5 
+
6 
+There are three faces (serif, sans-serif, and monospace), and four styles
7 
+(regular, bold, cursive/italic, and bold cursive/italic) for each face.
8 
+There is one font file per face/style combination: 12 files in total.
9 
+
10 
+The letters for various languages, as well as specialized symbols, exist
11 
+among the various font files, but they are not uniformly populated.
12 
+All the fonts have complete support for Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek, as
13 
+well as most of the extensions for those scripts.
14 
+
15 
+At this time, serif regular has by far the largest number of letters, and
16 
+supports the largest number of writing scripts.  However there are writing
17 
+scripts supported by the sans-serif but not by serif.
18 
+
19 
+For an overview of which scripts and sets of symbols are supported by
20 
+which face, see the FreeFont 'coverage' web page.

22 
+Font features
23 
+=============
24 
+
25 
+FreeFont has numerous font "features" that perform alterations to the basic
26 
+letters of the font, replacing them with other letters, or positioning them
27 
+with respect to other letters.
28 
+
29 
+Many features are activated automatically, but in some environments, they
30 
+present some user control.  This documents those features with user control.
31 
+
32 
+Language-specific features
33 
+==========================
34 
+
35 
+Some OpenType font features are activated only when the text is specified to
36 
+be of a certain language.
37 
+
38 
+This is done in HTML by enclosing the text with a tag whose 'lang' attribute
39 
+is set to the appropriate ISO 632.2 language code.  In a word processor,
40 
+any block of text can be given a language setting.
41 
+
42 
+Latin
43 
+-----
44 
+Catalan	ligature improving l·l
45 
+Dutch	ligatures for ij, IJ
46 
+Sami	localized form for letter Eng
47 
+Turkish	overrides ligatures fi ffi of Latin
48 
+
49 
+Cyrillic
50 
+--------
51 
+Ukrainian	ligature for double i-diaresis
52 
+Serbian/Macedonian	localized letters be, and more in italic
53 
+Bulgarian	style set for modern glyphs
54 
+
55 
+Hebrew
56 
+------
57 
+Yiddish	raised vowels under yo
58 
+
59 
+Devanagari
60 
+----------
61 
+Sanskrit	much larger set of ligatures
62 
+
63 
+Hindi, Marathi	better spacing of Western punctuation marks
64 
+
65 
+Indic languages
66 
+---------------
67 
+
68 
+The 'danda' character is encoded in Unicode only in the Devanagari range.
69 
+When writing in scripts of other Indic languages, this same character is to
70 
+be used.  But the shapes and line thicknesses of glyphs vary slightly from
71 
+one script to another, so the same glyph for 'danda' may not fit all scripts.
72 
+
73 
+By specifying the language of the text, an appropriate glyph for 'danda'
74 
+will be obtained.
75 
+
76 
+Style sets
77 
+==========
78 
+
79 
+These replacements are activated by specifying a "Style Set".
80 
+These features are accessible only from typesetting software.
81 
+
82 
+Cyrillic	Bulgarian modern (ss01)
83 
+
84 
+Devanagari	Bombay (ss02), Calcutta (ss03), Nepali (ss04)
85 
+
86 
+Discretionary features
87 
+======================
88 
+These features are accessible only from typesetting software.
89 
+Typically the user must specifically request them.
90 
+
91 
+Unless otherwise noted, these are available only in FreeSerif.
92 
+
93 
+Ligatures and substitutions
94 
+---------------------------
95 
+
96 
+Arabic, Armenian, Hebrew, German, Dutch
97 
+
98 
+Small captials
99 
+--------------
100 
+
101 
+A limited set of specially drawn small capital letters in Latin.
102 
+
103 
+Superscript and subscript
104 
+-------------------------
105 
+
106 
+Transform a limited set of characters--mostly Latin letters and numerals--
107 
+to versions well-sized and positioned as superscript or subscript.
108 
+
109 
+Numeral styles
110 
+--------------
111 
+
112 
+The default numerals of FreeSerif are mono-spaced and of even height.
113 
+It also features proportionally-spaced numerals, and "old-style" numerals--
114 
+those which vary in height and sometimes go beneath the baseline.
115 
+These can be had at discretion.
116 
+
117 
+Diagonal fractions
118 
+------------------
119 
+
120 
+A limited set of diagonal fraction substitutions are available at discretion.
121 
+The set is more than what is encoded in Unicode.
122 
+They work with the ASCII slash or the mathematical slash U+2215.
123 
+The transform a sequence "number-slash-number" to a diagonal form.
124 
+
125 
+Zero
126 
+----
127 
+
128 
+A slashed form of the numeral zero is available at discretion.
129 
+Available in all faces.
130 
+
131 
+Alternative characters
132 
+======================
133 
+
134 
+FreeSerif has some listings of alternatives for specific characters.
135 
+Again this is use primarily in specialized typesetting software.
136 
+
137 
+Greek, Latin
138 
+
139 
+Use in LaTeX
140 
+============
141 
+It is possible to use Unicode fonts in recent LaTeX implementations, but in
142 
+	LuaTeX http://www.luatex.org/ and
143 
+	XeTeX http://tug.org/xetex/
144 
+it is particularly easy to use Unicode text, and to enable font features.
145 
+Recent versions of these systems use the 'fontspec' package to choose fonts
146 
+and features.
147 
+
148 
+A very simple document might contain the lines
