Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Graphite is a package that can be used to create "smart fonts" capable of displaying writing systems with various complex behaviors. A smart font contains not only letter shapes but also additional instructions indicating how to combine and position the letters in complex ways. Graphite was developed to provide the flexibility needed for minority languages which often need to be written according to slightly different rules than well-known languages that use the same script.
