Coverage and use

Character coverage is inherited from the licensed foundation. The specimen is a sample, not a promise of complete language support. Check the included coverage and provenance files for your project.

A licensed derivative, not independently hand-drawn outlines.

Automated shaping proofs do not replace review by a fluent reader.

Decorative display treatment; joining strokes, dense characters and formulas need visual review at the intended size.

Full source repertoire retained; script-specific coverage and fluent-reader review required.

OpenType-only derivative. Original Graphite/AAT tables omitted: feat, morx. OpenType GSUB/GPOS retained and tested.
