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.

Complete foundation repertoire retained, not complete language coverage. Bold display use; fluent-reader review pending.

Patterns and displaced segments can interrupt connected strokes. Automated shaping tests preserve layout instructions, not visual continuity or fluent readability.
