</header>
<h2 id="about-this-project">About this project</h2>
<p>This project is intended to provide a free and open font family
for all current languages and writing systems that use Latin and
Cyrillic scripts. It supports almost the complete range of Unicode
characters for these scripts, including a comprehensive range of
diacritics and a large set of symbols useful for linguistics and
literacy work. Smart font routines automatically adjust the position
of diacritics to support and optimize arbitrary base+diacritic
combinations.</p>
<p>For more information on the visual characteristics of the font
family see <a href="design.html">Design</a>.</p>
<p>For a comparison between this and other SIL fonts, see <a
href="https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/support/comparison/">Comparison
of Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic fonts</a>.</p>
<h2 id="future-plans">Future plans</h2>
<p>These fonts are actively maintained and improved, and recent
changes to their development process will enable more frequent
releases.</p>
<p>The highest priorities for future additions and enhancements are
mainly driven by:</p>
<ul>
<li>New additions to <a href="https://unicode.org/">The Unicode
Standard</a></li>
<li>Requests from language communities using the fonts</li>
<li>Needs of the linguistic and academic community</li>
</ul>
<p>Although some expert typographic features are supported (e.g.
small caps), those are a lesser priority.</p>
<p>Please send us your requests using the <a
href="https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/">form on the
font website</a>. If you are interested in helping us make the fonts
better, see the <a href="developer.html">Developer</a> page.</p>

is highly readable and holds up well in less-than-ideal reproduction
environments due to its simple and robust design with strong serifs
and clear features.</p>

<p>This Charis font is essentially the same design as the SIL Charis
font first released by SIL in 1997. The design of the basic
character set of Charis is similar (but not identical) to Bitstream
Charter, designed by Matthew Carter. The following notice
accompanied the Charter fonts:</p>
<blockquote>

Bitstream's trademark is acknowledged as shown below on all
unmodified copies of the 4 Charter Type 1 fonts.</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="https://software.sil.org/fonts/faq">SIL fonts in
general</a>
<ul>
<li><em>How can I type...?</em></li>
<li><em>How can I use font features?</em></li>

Cyrillic, and Greek fonts</a>.
<ul>
<li><em>How can I type IPA symbols?</em></li>
<li><em>How do I use both a single-story and double-story 'a' in
italic?</em></li>
<li><em>Why don’t my diacritics position properly?</em></li>
<li><em>Why is the line spacing so much looser than other
fonts?</em></li>
<li><em>I’ve updated my font to the latest version and some letters
have become black boxes with white letters - why?</em></li>
</ul></li>
<li><a href="https://openfontlicense.org/ofl-faq">The SIL Open Font
License (OFL-FAQ)</a>
<ul>
<li><em>Can I use this font for...?</em></li>
<li><em>Can I modify the font and then include it in...</em></li>
<li><em>If I use the font on a web page do I have to include an
acknowledgement?</em></li>
<li>The full OFL-FAQ.txt is also included in the font package.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions
specifically regarding Charis:</p>
<h4
id="why-did-you-change-the-font-family-name-to-only-charis"><em>Why
did you change the font family name to only Charis?</em></h4>
<p>The version 7 reduction of default line spacing and addition of
kerning would have caused most documents that used Charis SIL to
reflow. This would have caused significant pain for users who wanted
to use the new version but also had large collections of existing
documents that would reflow. Changing the name to only Charis allows
both old and new font families to be installed at the same time and
eases the transition to the new version.</p>
<h4 id="why-did-you-stop-producing-compact-versions"><em>Why did you
stop producing Compact versions?</em></h4>
<p>Improvements to both these fonts and industry font technology has
reduced the need for <em>Compact</em> versions. The reduced default
line spacing in v7 enables many users of <em>Compact</em> variants
to switch to using the standard fonts, and allows documents to be
shared without requiring special fonts. If tight or loose line
spacing is needed the best solution is to use the standard fonts and
explicitly set the line spacing in your application. If the
application does not allow user-specified line spacing the <a
href="https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/">v6.2 Compact
fonts remain available</a>. Please also contact the app developer to
request that they give users better control over line spacing.</p>
<h4 id="where-are-the-literacy-versions"><em>Where are the Literacy
versions?</em></h4>
<p>We have not prepared ‘pre-tuned’ <em>Literacy</em> versions of
the version 7 fonts. The standard fonts include the literacy forms,
which can be turned on in many applications and on web pages using
OpenType stylistic sets (<code>ss01</code>, <code>ss11</code>,
<code>ss12</code>) — see <a
href="https://software.sil.org/fonts/features">Using Font
Features</a> and <a
href="https://software.sil.org/fonts/webfonts">Using SIL Fonts on
Web Pages</a>. If your application does not allow you to control
these features the <a
href="https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/">v6.2 Literacy
fonts remain available</a>. Please also contact the app developer to
request that they give users access to OpenType stylistic sets.</p>
<h4
id="is-there-a-guide-to-the-many-versions-of-charis-and-its-variants"><em>Is
there a guide to the many versions of Charis and its
variants?</em></h4>
<p>Yes! See the <a href="versions.html">Versions</a> page.</p>
<h4
id="why-does-my-application-not-show-the-bold-weight-in-font-menus-and-dialogs"><em>Why
does my application not show the Bold weight in font menus and
dialogs?</em></h4>
<p>Some applications will list all the weights but leave out Bold.
To access the Bold you need to choose Regular and turn on Bold using
the application’s UI controls such as a “B” button. See our <a
href="https://software.sil.org/fonts/axis-based-fonts/">Font Help
Guide on Axis-Based Font Families</a> for more information.</p>
<h4 id="why-do-i-sometimes-get-a-fake-bold"><em>Why do I sometimes
get a fake Bold?</em></h4>
<p>If you choose a weight other than Regular (such as Medium), and
then use application controls to turn on Bold, some applications
will make a “fake” Bold rather than use one of the real ones in the
font (SemiBold, Bold). This is because only Regular has an
associated Bold counterpart. This is a technical limitation with
some apps and OSes. If you are using a weight other than Regular for
text and want to make a word or phrase stand out, you will need to
select the text and apply one of the heavier weights manually. See
our <a href="https://software.sil.org/fonts/axis-based-fonts/">Font
Help Guide on Axis-Based Font Families</a> for more information.</p>
<h4
id="why-does-the-font-have-some-greek-characters-but-not-all"><em>Why
does the font have some Greek characters, but not all?</em></h4>
<p>Although Charis includes some Greek characters, it is not
intended to provide general support for the Greek language. The
Greek characters that are included are there to support various
notational systems (linguistic, logical, mathematical). Other fonts,
such as <a href="https://software.sil.org/gentium">Gentium</a>,
provide complete Greek script support.</p>
<h4 id="will-you-add-full-greek-script-support"><em>Will you add
full Greek script support?</em></h4>
<p>We have no plans to do that, however the <a
href="https://openfontlicense.org_web">OFL licensing</a> allows
anyone to add Greek support and freely distribute the font to
others. It is even possible to <a href="developer.html">contribute
that work back to the project</a> and share it with others.</p>
<h4 id="isnt-charis-just-a-copy-of-charter"><em>Isn’t Charis just a
copy of Charter?</em></h4>
<p>Charis is very closely based on the design of Bitstream Charter.
However the glyphs were completely redrawn based only on visual
reference to Charter. There are some significant design differences
in the serif structure, proportions, diacritics, and Cyrillic. The
design was also adjusted and extended to cover a much wider range of
characters and publishing needs.</p>

<h2 id="requirements">Requirements</h2>
<p>These fonts are supported by all major operating systems (macOS,
Windows, Linux-based, iOS, and Android). However, the extent of that
support depends on the individual OS and application.</p>
<h2 id="installation">Installation</h2>
<p>Install the fonts by decompressing the .zip archive and
installing the fonts using the standard font installation process
for .ttf (TrueType/OpenType) fonts for your platform. For additional
tips see the help page on <a
href="https://software.sil.org/fonts/installation">Font
installation</a>.</p>
<h2 id="keyboarding-and-character-set-support">Keyboarding and
character set support</h2>
<p>These fonts do not include keyboards or other software for
entering text. To type the symbols in these fonts use the
keyboarding systems provided in your OS or use a separate utility.
SIL’s <a href="https://keyman.com/">Keyman</a> provides keyboards
for over 2000 languages and works on all major desktop and mobile
platforms. For information on other keyboarding options see the
overview at <a
href="https://scriptsource.org/entry/ytr8g8n6sw">Keyboard Systems
Overview (ScriptSource)</a>.</p>
<p>See <a href="charset.html">Character set support</a> for details
of the Unicode characters supported by these fonts.</p>
<h2 id="rendering-and-application-support">Rendering and application
support</h2>
<p>These fonts will work normally like any other fonts in most
applications. If the writing system requires special diacritic
positioning the application/OS will need to support OpenType.</p>
<p>These fonts also include extensive OpenType features for small
caps, literacy forms, character alernates and language-specific
preferences. For information on the specific features available in
these fonts see <a href="features.html">Font features</a>.</p>
<p>If special font features are to be activated, the application
will need to provide a way to turn on the feature or choose the
feature setting. Details of current application support, and
specific techniques for activating features, are on the <a
href="https://software.sil.org/fonts/features">Using Font
Features</a> help page.</p>
<p>Although the current fonts support only OpenType, previous
versions provided support for Graphite and AAT (Apple Advanced
Typography) technologies. Graphite was supported through version 5
and AAT was supported up to version 4. These older versions remain
available from our <a
href="https://software.sil.org/charis/download/previous-versions">Previous
Versions archive</a>.</p>
<h2 id="typetuner">TypeTuner</h2>
<p>The <a
href="https://typetunerweb.languagetechnology.org/ttw/fonts2go.cgi">TypeTuner
Web</a> service allows you to choose smart font features and
download a font with those features preset. This enables them to
work in many applications that do not fully support OpenType.</p>
<h2 id="web-fonts">Web fonts</h2>
<p>Web font versions of these fonts (in WOFF and WOFF2 formats) are
available in the <code>web</code> folder. These can be copied to a
web server and used as fonts on web pages. A very basic HTML/CSS
demo page is also included. For more information on the options and
techniques available for using these fonts on web pages see <a
href="https://software.sil.org/fonts/webfonts">Using SIL Fonts on
Web Pages</a>.</p>
<h2 id="text-conversion">Text conversion</h2>
<p>These fonts are encoded according to <a
href="https://unicode.org">The Unicode Standard</a>. If you have
text that uses a legacy, non-Unicode encoding there are tools that
can help you convert that text for use with Unicode fonts. See <a
href="https://scriptsource.org/entry/xlzd6n5aqt">Introduction to
Text Conversion and Transliteration</a>.</p>

fontversion: 7.000

## About this project
This project is intended to provide a free and open font family for all current languages and writing systems that use Latin and Cyrillic scripts. It supports almost the complete range of Unicode characters for these scripts, including a comprehensive range of diacritics and a large set of symbols useful for linguistics and literacy work. Smart font routines automatically adjust the position of diacritics to support and optimize arbitrary base+diacritic combinations.
For more information on the visual characteristics of the font family see [Design](design.md).
For a comparison between this and other SIL fonts, see [Comparison of Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic fonts](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/support/comparison/).
## Future plans
These fonts are actively maintained and improved, and recent changes to their development process will enable more frequent releases.
The highest priorities for future additions and enhancements are mainly driven by:
- New additions to [The Unicode Standard](https://unicode.org/)
- Requests from language communities using the fonts
- Needs of the linguistic and academic community
Although some expert typographic features are supported (e.g. small caps), those are a lesser priority.
Please send us your requests using the [form on the font website](https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/). If you are interested in helping us make the fonts better, see the [Developer](developer.md) page.
## Announcement list
If you wish to receive announcements about updates to any of our SIL fonts, please subscribe to our [SIL Font News Announcement List](https://groups.google.com/a/groups.sil.org/forum/#!forum/sil-font-news).

title: Charis - Design
fontversion: 7.000
---
Charis is optimized for readability in long printed documents. It is highly readable and holds up well in less-than-ideal reproduction environments due to its simple and robust design with strong serifs and clear features.

For a complete list of characters included in Charis, see [Character Set Support](charset.md).
### Note regarding Charter
This Charis font is essentially the same design as the SIL Charis font first released by SIL in 1997. The design of the basic character set of Charis is similar (but not identical) to Bitstream Charter, designed by Matthew Carter. The following notice accompanied the Charter fonts:
> © Copyright 1989-1992, Bitstream Inc., Cambridge, MA.
>
> You are hereby granted permission under all Bitstream propriety rights to use, copy, modify, sublicense, sell, and redistribute the 4 Bitstream Charter® Type 1 outline fonts and the 4 Courier Type 1 outline fonts for any purpose and without restriction; provided, that this notice is left intact on all copies of such fonts and that Bitstream's trademark is acknowledged as shown below on all unmodified copies of the 4 Charter Type 1 fonts.
>
> BITSTREAM CHARTER is a registered trademark of Bitstream Inc.

## Welcome font developers!
We welcome other developers who wish to get involved in supporting and enhancing these fonts or who want to modify them.
## Permissions granted by the OFL
SIL’s fonts are licensed according to the terms of the [SIL Open Font License](https://openfontlicense.org). The OFL allows the fonts to be used, studied, modified and redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. For details see the OFL.txt and OFL-FAQ.txt files in the package.
## Building the fonts from source code
The full source code for our Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic fonts is available on Github:
- [Charis Github repository](https://github.com/silnrsi/font-charis)
- [Doulos SIL Github repository](https://github.com/silnrsi/font-doulos)
- [Gentium Github repository](https://github.com/silnrsi/font-gentium)
- [Andika Github repository](https://github.com/silnrsi/font-andika)
Font sources are in the [UFO3](https://unifiedfontobject.org/versions/ufo3/) format with font family structures defined using [designspace](https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/tree/master/Doc/source/designspaceLib). OpenType source code is stored in the [.fea](https://adobe-type-tools.github.io/afdko/OpenTypeFeatureFileSpecification.html) format in the UFO (features.fea) but is maintained in a separate file using the more efficient and powerful [.feax](hhttps://github.com/silnrsi/feax/blob/main/docs/feaextensions.md) format.
The fonts are built using a completely free and open source workflow using industry-standard tools ([fonttools](https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools)), a package of custom python scripts ([pysilfont](https://github.com/silnrsi/pysilfont)), and a build and packaging system ([Smith](https://github.com/silnrsi/smith)). The whole toolchain is available as a Docker container.
Full instructions for setting up the tools and building SIL fonts are available on a dedicated web site: [SIL Font Development Notes](https://silnrsi.github.io/silfontdev/).
## Contributing to the project
We warmly welcome contributions to the fonts, such as new glyphs, enhanced smart font code, or bug fixes. The [brief overview of contributing changes](https://silnrsi.github.io/silfontdev/en-US/Contributing_Changes.html) is a good place to begin. The next step is to contact us by responding to an existing issue or creating an issue in the Github repository and expressing your interest. We can then work together to plan and integrate your contributions.
Here are a few examples of contributions that would be welcomed (some more than others):
- Historic/Archaic Cyrillic
- Mathematical glyphs
- Additional scripts (Armenian, etc.), and any needed OpenType code
Because we want to be able to guarantee a high level of quality for our fonts, we will review submissions carefully. Contributions will need to cover all the weights and styles of the family and in some cases all four font projects. Please don’t be discouraged if we do not include a submission due to quality or incompleteness, or if we ask you to make specific revisions.
To enable us to accept contributions in a way that honors your contribution and respects your copyright while preserving long-term flexibility for open source licensing, you would also need to agree to the **SIL Global Contributor License Agreement for Font Software (v1.1)** prior to sending us your contribution. To read more about this requirement and find out how to submit the required form, please visit the [CLA information page](https://software.sil.org/fontcla).

title: Charis - Frequently Asked Questions
fontversion: 7.000
---
Many questions can be answered by consulting the following FAQ pages. Here are a few sample questions answered in each FAQ:
- [SIL fonts in general](https://software.sil.org/fonts/faq)
- *How can I type...?*
- *How can I use font features?*
- *Will you add support for character...?*
- *Will you add support for script...?*
- *WIll you help me...?*
- [SIL’s Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek fonts](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/faq).
- *How can I type IPA symbols?*
- *How do I use both a single-story and double-story 'a' in italic?*
- *Why don’t my diacritics position properly?*
- *Why is the line spacing so much looser than other fonts?*
- *I’ve updated my font to the latest version and some letters have become black boxes with white letters - why?*
- [The SIL Open Font License (OFL-FAQ)](https://openfontlicense.org/ofl-faq)
- *Can I use this font for...?*
- *Can I modify the font and then include it in...*
- *If I use the font on a web page do I have to include an acknowledgement?*
- The full OFL-FAQ.txt is also included in the font package.
Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions specifically regarding Charis:
#### *Why did you change the font family name to only Charis?*
The version 7 reduction of default line spacing and addition of kerning would have caused most documents that used Charis SIL to reflow. This would have caused significant pain for users who wanted to use the new version but also had large collections of existing documents that would reflow. Changing the name to only Charis allows both old and new font families to be installed at the same time and eases the transition to the new version.
#### *Why did you stop producing Compact versions?*
Improvements to both these fonts and industry font technology has reduced the need for *Compact* versions. The reduced default line spacing in v7 enables many users of *Compact* variants to switch to using the standard fonts, and allows documents to be shared without requiring special fonts. If tight or loose line spacing is needed the best solution is to use the standard fonts and explicitly set the line spacing in your application. If the application does not allow user-specified line spacing the [v6.2 Compact fonts remain available](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/). Please also contact the app developer to request that they give users better control over line spacing.
#### *Where are the Literacy versions?*
We have not prepared ‘pre-tuned’ *Literacy* versions of the version 7 fonts. The standard fonts include the literacy forms, which can be turned on in many applications and on web pages using OpenType stylistic sets (`ss01`, `ss11`, `ss12`) — see [Using Font Features](https://software.sil.org/fonts/features) and [Using SIL Fonts on Web Pages](https://software.sil.org/fonts/webfonts). If your application does not allow you to control these features the [v6.2 Literacy fonts remain available](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/). Please also contact the app developer to request that they give users access to OpenType stylistic sets.
#### *Is there a guide to the many versions of Charis and its variants?*
Yes! See the [Versions](versions.md) page.
#### *Why does my application not show the Bold weight in font menus and dialogs?*
Some applications will list all the weights but leave out Bold. To access the Bold you need to choose Regular and turn on Bold using the application’s UI controls such as a “B” button. See our [Font Help Guide on Axis-Based Font Families](https://software.sil.org/fonts/axis-based-fonts/) for more information.
#### *Why do I sometimes get a fake Bold?*
If you choose a weight other than Regular (such as Medium), and then use application controls to turn on Bold, some applications will make a “fake” Bold rather than use one of the real ones in the font (SemiBold, Bold). This is because only Regular has an associated Bold counterpart. This is a technical limitation with some apps and OSes. If you are using a weight other than Regular for text and want to make a word or phrase stand out, you will need to select the text and apply one of the heavier weights manually. See our [Font Help Guide on Axis-Based Font Families](https://software.sil.org/fonts/axis-based-fonts/) for more information.
#### *Why does the font have some Greek characters, but not all?*
Although Charis includes some Greek characters, it is not intended to provide general support for the Greek language. The Greek characters that are included are there to support various notational systems (linguistic, logical, mathematical). Other fonts, such as [Gentium](https://software.sil.org/gentium), provide complete Greek script support.
#### *Will you add full Greek script support?*
We have no plans to do that, however the [OFL licensing](https://openfontlicense.org_web) allows anyone to add Greek support and freely distribute the font to others. It is even possible to [contribute that work back to the project](developer.md) and share it with others.
#### *Isn’t Charis just a copy of Charter?*
Charis is very closely based on the design of Bitstream Charter. However the glyphs were completely redrawn based only on visual reference to Charter. There are some significant design differences in the serif structure, proportions, diacritics, and Cyrillic. The design was also adjusted and extended to cover a much wider range of characters and publishing needs.

title: Charis - Font Features
fontversion: 7.000
---
Charis is an OpenType-enabled font family that supports the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. It includes a number of optional features that may be useful or required for particular uses or languages. This document lists all the available features.
These OpenType features are primarily specified using four-letter tags (e.g. 'cv17'), although some applications may provide a direct way to control certain common features such as small caps. For more information on how to access OpenType features in specific environments and applications, see [Using Font Features](https://software.sil.org/fonts/features).
This page uses web fonts (WOFF2) to demonstrate font features and should display correctly in all modern browsers. For a more concise example of how to use Charis as a web font see *Charis-webfont-example.html* in the font package *web* folder. For detailed information see [Using SIL Fonts on Web Pages](https://software.sil.org/fonts/webfonts).
*If this document is not displaying correctly a PDF version is also provided in the documentation/pdf folder of the release package.*

### 2 Jun 2025 (SIL WSTech Team) Charis version 7.000
***Note that this is a major upgrade with significant changes to family structure, line spacing, and glyph metrics. Please read the following carefully to understand how the changes may affect you.***
#### Font names, family structure, and line metrics
- Font family names have changed. It is possible to have both this release (v7) and the previous one (v6.2) installed at the same time. This is a permanent change intended to help with the transition from v6.2 to v7.
- *Charis SIL* is now *Charis*
- There are additional intermediate weights. Previously existing weights have not changed. Here is a list, with retained weights in **bold** and new weights in *italic*. The CSS values for the weights within each family are in parentheses. Italic faces follow a similar structure and correspondence.
- **Charis Regular** (400)
- *Charis Medium* (500)
- *Charis SemiBold* (600)
- **Charis Bold** (700)
- The default line spacing has been significantly decreased to be more similar to other common text fonts, but remains wide enough to accommodate multiple stacked diacritics.
- There are no *Compact* variants. These are less needed since the default line spacing has been decreased. *Compact* versions of the v6.2 fonts remain available from https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/
- TypeTuner Web no longer offers line spacing alternatives for the v7 fonts (Normal, Tight, Loose). If you need Tight or Loose variants the v6.2 fonts remain available and support line spacing alternatives.
- There are no ‘pre-tuned’ regional or *Literacy* special-purpose modified variants. The v6.2 variants, including *Literacy* versions, remain available from https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/. You can still manually create v7 variants with TypeTuner Web that include literacy forms and other alternatives.
#### New features and enhancements
- Kerning has now been added and covers the full range of alphabetic symbols except for small caps (which will be included in a future update). **Warning: Because of the addition of extensive kerning, line, paragraph, and page lengths may be different from v6.2.**
- Proportional Oldstyle figures are now supported through the standard OpenType feature (`onum`). These only apply to the main numerals, not fractions, superscripts, or numeral-based symbols.
- The default form for capital N with left hook has been changed to the lowercase style to match the capital Eng. The related feature (`cv44`) has been changed to substitute the uppercase style form.
- U+019D LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH LEFT HOOK
- Additions to Modifier Apostrophe feature (`cv70`)
- U+02BB MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA
- U+02BD MODIFIER LETTER REVERSED COMMA
- U+0312 COMBINING TURNED COMMA ABOVE

### 2 July 2021 (SIL WSTech Team) Charis SIL version 6.001
- Reverted font Postscript name to that used in v5 and earlier to avoid problems with unrecognized fonts when opening older documents.
### 29 Jun 2021 (SIL WSTech Team) Charis SIL version 6.000
***Note that this is a major upgrade that may cause document reflow as some glyphs widths have changed and some features have been removed.***
#### Removed
- **Removed DSIGs added in version 5.000.** These have now been removed to reflect current best practice font development guidance. Adobe InDesign will complain that fonts cannot be found if a document last saved with version 5.000 is opened with version 5.960 or later installed. It will be necessary to find/replace the fonts in the document using the command in the Type menu. Please also look over the document carefully to note any places where changes in the fonts have affected letterforms or spacing.
- **Graphite has been removed.** Application and OS support for OpenType has greatly improved, so the need for Graphite in this font family is greatly reduced. *If this affects you, and you find that OpenType does not provide sufficient support for your needs, please contact us right away.*
- Removed the *Show Invisibles* feature.
- Removed support for nine-level pitch contours. These will be replaced by a standalone pitch contours font in the future.

## About this project
This project is intended to provide a free and open font family for all current languages and writing systems that use Latin and Cyrillic scripts. It supports almost the complete range of Unicode characters for these scripts, including a comprehensive range of diacritics and a large set of symbols useful for linguistics and literacy work. Smart font routines automatically adjust the position of diacritics to support and optimize arbitrary base+diacritic combinations.
For more information on the visual characteristics of the font family see [Design](design).
For a comparison between this and other SIL fonts, see [Comparison of Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic fonts](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/support/comparison/).
## Future plans
These fonts are actively maintained and improved, and recent changes to their development process will enable more frequent releases.
The highest priorities for future additions and enhancements are mainly driven by:
- New additions to [The Unicode Standard](https://unicode.org/)
- Requests from language communities using the fonts
- Needs of the linguistic and academic community
Although some expert typographic features are supported (e.g. small caps), those are a lesser priority.
Please send us your requests using the [form on the font website](https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/). If you are interested in helping us make the fonts better, see the [Developer](developer) page.
## Announcement list
If you wish to receive announcements about updates to any of our SIL fonts, please subscribe to our [SIL Font News Announcement List](https://groups.google.com/a/groups.sil.org/forum/#!forum/sil-font-news). This is an announcement-only list with messages approximately once a month. It does not allow any discussion.
You can subscribe using either of the two following options.
- If you use a Google profile and join the group, you will be able to access the group and control your subscription and notification options with a web browser. Make sure you are logged in to your Google profile and go to the [SIL Font News Google Group](https://groups.google.com/a/groups.sil.org/forum/#!forum/sil-font-news). Click on **Join group**.
- If you would rather not use a Google profile, you can subscribe any email address by sending a message to [sil-font-news+subscribe@groups.sil.org](mailto:sil-font-news+subscribe@groups.sil.org) and following the instructions you get in the confirmation message.
Our font announcements are also available through X (formerly Twitter) [@silfonts](https://x.com/silfonts).
## Supporting the project
These fonts are provided at no cost; however, they are expensive to produce and maintain. Please consider donating to SIL’s font development efforts to support future development. Go to [SIL’s Give Direct page](https://give.sil.org/give/485238). **Thank you!**

## Welcome font developers!
We welcome other developers who wish to get involved in supporting and enhancing these fonts or who want to modify them.
## Permissions granted by the OFL
SIL’s fonts are licensed according to the terms of the [SIL Open Font License](https://openfontlicense.org). The OFL allows the fonts to be used, studied, modified and redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. For details see the OFL.txt and OFL-FAQ.txt files in the package.
## Building the fonts from source code
The full source code for our Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic fonts is available on Github:
- [Charis Github repository](https://github.com/silnrsi/font-charis)
- [Doulos SIL Github repository](https://github.com/silnrsi/font-doulos)
- [Gentium Github repository](https://github.com/silnrsi/font-gentium)
- [Andika Github repository](https://github.com/silnrsi/font-andika)
Font sources are in the [UFO3](https://unifiedfontobject.org/versions/ufo3/) format with font family structures defined using [designspace](https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/tree/master/Doc/source/designspaceLib). OpenType source code is stored in the [.fea](https://adobe-type-tools.github.io/afdko/OpenTypeFeatureFileSpecification.html) format in the UFO (features.fea) but is maintained in a separate file using the more efficient and powerful [.feax](hhttps://github.com/silnrsi/feax/blob/main/docs/feaextensions) format.
The fonts are built using a completely free and open source workflow using industry-standard tools ([fonttools](https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools)), a package of custom python scripts ([pysilfont](https://github.com/silnrsi/pysilfont)), and a build and packaging system ([Smith](https://github.com/silnrsi/smith)). The whole toolchain is available as a Docker container.
Full instructions for setting up the tools and building SIL fonts are available on a dedicated web site: [SIL Font Development Notes](https://silnrsi.github.io/silfontdev/).
## Contributing to the project
We warmly welcome contributions to the fonts, such as new glyphs, enhanced smart font code, or bug fixes. The [brief overview of contributing changes](https://silnrsi.github.io/silfontdev/en-US/Contributing_Changes.html) is a good place to begin. The next step is to contact us by responding to an existing issue or creating an issue in the Github repository and expressing your interest. We can then work together to plan and integrate your contributions.
Here are a few examples of contributions that would be welcomed (some more than others):
- Historic/Archaic Cyrillic
- Mathematical glyphs
- Additional scripts (Armenian, etc.), and any needed OpenType code
Because we want to be able to guarantee a high level of quality for our fonts, we will review submissions carefully. Contributions will need to cover all the weights and styles of the family and in some cases all four font projects. Please don’t be discouraged if we do not include a submission due to quality or incompleteness, or if we ask you to make specific revisions.
To enable us to accept contributions in a way that honors your contribution and respects your copyright while preserving long-term flexibility for open source licensing, you would also need to agree to the **SIL Global Contributor License Agreement for Font Software (v1.1)** prior to sending us your contribution. To read more about this requirement and find out how to submit the required form, please visit the [CLA information page](https://software.sil.org/fontcla).

Many questions can be answered by consulting the following FAQ pages. Here are a few sample questions answered in each FAQ:
- [SIL fonts in general](https://software.sil.org/fonts/faq)
- *How can I type...?*
- *How can I use font features?*
- *Will you add support for character...?*
- *Will you add support for script...?*
- *WIll you help me...?*
- [SIL’s Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek fonts](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/faq).
- *How can I type IPA symbols?*
- *How do I use both a single-story and double-story 'a' in italic?*
- *Why don’t my diacritics position properly?*
- *Why is the line spacing so much looser than other fonts?*
- *I’ve updated my font to the latest version and some letters have become black boxes with white letters - why?*
- [The SIL Open Font License (OFL-FAQ)](https://openfontlicense.org/ofl-faq)
- *Can I use this font for...?*
- *Can I modify the font and then include it in...*
- *If I use the font on a web page do I have to include an acknowledgement?*
- The full OFL-FAQ.txt is also included in the font package.
Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions specifically regarding Charis:
#### *Why did you change the font family name to only Charis?*
The version 7 reduction of default line spacing and addition of kerning would have caused most documents that used Charis SIL to reflow. This would have caused significant pain for users who wanted to use the new version but also had large collections of existing documents that would reflow. Changing the name to only Charis allows both old and new font families to be installed at the same time and eases the transition to the new version.
#### *Why did you stop producing Compact versions?*
Improvements to both these fonts and industry font technology has reduced the need for *Compact* versions. The reduced default line spacing in v7 enables many users of *Compact* variants to switch to using the standard fonts, and allows documents to be shared without requiring special fonts. If tight or loose line spacing is needed the best solution is to use the standard fonts and explicitly set the line spacing in your application. If the application does not allow user-specified line spacing the [v6.2 Compact fonts remain available](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/). Please also contact the app developer to request that they give users better control over line spacing.
#### *Where are the Literacy versions?*
We have not prepared ‘pre-tuned’ *Literacy* versions of the version 7 fonts. The standard fonts include the literacy forms, which can be turned on in many applications and on web pages using OpenType stylistic sets (`ss01`, `ss11`, `ss12`) — see [Using Font Features](https://software.sil.org/fonts/features) and [Using SIL Fonts on Web Pages](https://software.sil.org/fonts/webfonts). If your application does not allow you to control these features the [v6.2 Literacy fonts remain available](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/). Please also contact the app developer to request that they give users access to OpenType stylistic sets.
#### *Is there a guide to the many versions of Charis and its variants?*
Yes! See the [Versions](versions) page.
#### *Why does my application not show the Bold weight in font menus and dialogs?*
Some applications will list all the weights but leave out Bold. To access the Bold you need to choose Regular and turn on Bold using the application’s UI controls such as a “B” button. See our [Font Help Guide on Axis-Based Font Families](https://software.sil.org/fonts/axis-based-fonts/) for more information.
#### *Why do I sometimes get a fake Bold?*
If you choose a weight other than Regular (such as Medium), and then use application controls to turn on Bold, some applications will make a “fake” Bold rather than use one of the real ones in the font (SemiBold, Bold). This is because only Regular has an associated Bold counterpart. This is a technical limitation with some apps and OSes. If you are using a weight other than Regular for text and want to make a word or phrase stand out, you will need to select the text and apply one of the heavier weights manually. See our [Font Help Guide on Axis-Based Font Families](https://software.sil.org/fonts/axis-based-fonts/) for more information.
#### *Why does the font have some Greek characters, but not all?*
Although Charis includes some Greek characters, it is not intended to provide general support for the Greek language. The Greek characters that are included are there to support various notational systems (linguistic, logical, mathematical). Other fonts, such as [Gentium](https://software.sil.org/gentium), provide complete Greek script support.
#### *Will you add full Greek script support?*
We have no plans to do that, however the [OFL licensing](https://openfontlicense.org_web) allows anyone to add Greek support and freely distribute the font to others. It is even possible to [contribute that work back to the project](developer) and share it with others.
#### *Isn’t Charis just a copy of Charter?*
Charis is very closely based on the design of Bitstream Charter. However the glyphs were completely redrawn based only on visual reference to Charter. There are some significant design differences in the serif structure, proportions, diacritics, and Cyrillic. The design was also adjusted and extended to cover a much wider range of characters and publishing needs.

Charis is an OpenType-enabled font family that supports the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. It includes a number of optional features that may be useful or required for particular uses or languages. This document lists all the available features.
These OpenType features are primarily specified using four-letter tags (e.g. 'cv17'), although some applications may provide a direct way to control certain common features such as small caps. For more information on how to access OpenType features in specific environments and applications, see [Using Font Features](https://software.sil.org/fonts/features).
This page uses web fonts (WOFF2) to demonstrate font features and should display correctly in all modern browsers. For a more concise example of how to use Charis as a web font see *Charis-webfont-example.html* in the font package *web* folder. For detailed information see [Using SIL Fonts on Web Pages](https://software.sil.org/fonts/webfonts).
*If this document is not displaying correctly a PDF version is also provided in the documentation/pdf folder of the release package.*

### 2 Jun 2025 (SIL WSTech Team) Charis version 7.000
***Note that this is a major upgrade with significant changes to family structure, line spacing, and glyph metrics. Please read the following carefully to understand how the changes may affect you.***
#### Font names, family structure, and line metrics
- Font family names have changed. It is possible to have both this release (v7) and the previous one (v6.2) installed at the same time. This is a permanent change intended to help with the transition from v6.2 to v7.
- *Charis SIL* is now *Charis*
- There are additional intermediate weights. Previously existing weights have not changed. Here is a list, with retained weights in **bold** and new weights in *italic*. The CSS values for the weights within each family are in parentheses. Italic faces follow a similar structure and correspondence.
- **Charis Regular** (400)
- *Charis Medium* (500)
- *Charis SemiBold* (600)
- **Charis Bold** (700)
- The default line spacing has been significantly decreased to be more similar to other common text fonts, but remains wide enough to accommodate multiple stacked diacritics.
- There are no *Compact* variants. These are less needed since the default line spacing has been decreased. *Compact* versions of the v6.2 fonts remain available from https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/
- TypeTuner Web no longer offers line spacing alternatives for the v7 fonts (Normal, Tight, Loose). If you need Tight or Loose variants the v6.2 fonts remain available and support line spacing alternatives.
- There are no ‘pre-tuned’ regional or *Literacy* special-purpose modified variants. The v6.2 variants, including *Literacy* versions, remain available from https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/. You can still manually create v7 variants with TypeTuner Web that include literacy forms and other alternatives.
#### New features and enhancements
- Kerning has now been added and covers the full range of alphabetic symbols except for small caps (which will be included in a future update). **Warning: Because of the addition of extensive kerning, line, paragraph, and page lengths may be different from v6.2.**
- Proportional Oldstyle figures are now supported through the standard OpenType feature (`onum`). These only apply to the main numerals, not fractions, superscripts, or numeral-based symbols.
- The default form for capital N with left hook has been changed to the lowercase style to match the capital Eng. The related feature (`cv44`) has been changed to substitute the uppercase style form.
- U+019D LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH LEFT HOOK
- Additions to Modifier Apostrophe feature (`cv70`)
- U+02BB MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA
- U+02BD MODIFIER LETTER REVERSED COMMA
- U+0312 COMBINING TURNED COMMA ABOVE
- U+0314 COMBINING REVERSED COMMA ABOVE
- Addition to Rams Horn feature (`cv25`)
- U+10791 MODIFIER LETTER SMALL RAMS HORN
- Small caps added for these parentheses and brackets
- U+0028 LEFT PARENTHESIS
- U+0029 RIGHT PARENTHESIS

### 2 July 2021 (SIL WSTech Team) Charis SIL version 6.001
- Reverted font Postscript name to that used in v5 and earlier to avoid problems with unrecognized fonts when opening older documents.
### 29 Jun 2021 (SIL WSTech Team) Charis SIL version 6.000
***Note that this is a major upgrade that may cause document reflow as some glyphs widths have changed and some features have been removed.***
#### Removed
- **Removed DSIGs added in version 5.000.** These have now been removed to reflect current best practice font development guidance. Adobe InDesign will complain that fonts cannot be found if a document last saved with version 5.000 is opened with version 5.960 or later installed. It will be necessary to find/replace the fonts in the document using the command in the Type menu. Please also look over the document carefully to note any places where changes in the fonts have affected letterforms or spacing.
- **Graphite has been removed.** Application and OS support for OpenType has greatly improved, so the need for Graphite in this font family is greatly reduced. *If this affects you, and you find that OpenType does not provide sufficient support for your needs, please contact us right away.*
- Removed the *Show Invisibles* feature.
- Removed support for nine-level pitch contours. These will be replaced by a standalone pitch contours font in the future.

## Requirements
These fonts are supported by all major operating systems (macOS, Windows, Linux-based, iOS, and Android). However, the extent of that support depends on the individual OS and application.
## Installation
Install the fonts by decompressing the .zip archive and installing the fonts using the standard font installation process for .ttf (TrueType/OpenType) fonts for your platform. For additional tips see the help page on [Font installation](https://software.sil.org/fonts/installation).
## Keyboarding and character set support
These fonts do not include keyboards or other software for entering text. To type the symbols in these fonts use the keyboarding systems provided in your OS or use a separate utility. SIL’s [Keyman](https://keyman.com/) provides keyboards for over 2000 languages and works on all major desktop and mobile platforms. For information on other keyboarding options see the overview at [Keyboard Systems Overview (ScriptSource)](https://scriptsource.org/entry/ytr8g8n6sw).
See [Character set support](charset) for details of the Unicode characters supported by these fonts.
## Rendering and application support
These fonts will work normally like any other fonts in most applications. If the writing system requires special diacritic positioning the application/OS will need to support OpenType.
These fonts also include extensive OpenType features for small caps, literacy forms, character alernates and language-specific preferences. For information on the specific features available in these fonts see [Font features](features).
If special font features are to be activated, the application will need to provide a way to turn on the feature or choose the feature setting. Details of current application support, and specific techniques for activating features, are on the [Using Font Features](https://software.sil.org/fonts/features) help page.
Although the current fonts support only OpenType, previous versions provided support for Graphite and AAT (Apple Advanced Typography) technologies. Graphite was supported through version 5 and AAT was supported up to version 4. These older versions remain available from our [Previous Versions archive](https://software.sil.org/charis/download/previous-versions).
## TypeTuner
The [TypeTuner Web](https://typetunerweb.languagetechnology.org/ttw/fonts2go.cgi) service allows you to choose smart font features and download a font with those features preset. This enables them to work in many applications that do not fully support OpenType.
## Web fonts
Web font versions of these fonts (in WOFF and WOFF2 formats) are available in the `web` folder. These can be copied to a web server and used as fonts on web pages. A very basic HTML/CSS demo page is also included. For more information on the options and techniques available for using these fonts on web pages see [Using SIL Fonts on Web Pages](https://software.sil.org/fonts/webfonts).
## Text conversion
These fonts are encoded according to [The Unicode Standard](https://unicode.org). If you have text that uses a legacy, non-Unicode encoding there are tools that can help you convert that text for use with Unicode fonts. See [Introduction to Text Conversion and Transliteration](https://scriptsource.org/entry/xlzd6n5aqt).

title: Charis - Version 7 Changes
fontversion: 7.000
---
## New major release
Charis version 7 is a major release with many new additions, enhancements, and improvements. This is a summary of the most notable changes and what you need to know if you have been using earlier versions. **Please read this carefully to understand the major changes.** For further details on these changes, particularly regarding individual characters, see [Version History](history.md).
## Family names and structure
### Font family names have changed
Since the changes to both line metrics and spacing are so extensive, we have changed the names of the fonts for version 7.
- *Charis SIL* is now *Charis*
This enables you to keep the old v6.2 fonts installed when you install the new v7 ones. Projects and documents can then be gradually changed to use the new v7. **We do recommend that you start using v7 right away and phase out your use of v6.2 as soon as possible.**
### Revised family groups with additional weights
Charis now has additional intermediate weights. Previously existing weights have not changed. The CSS values for the weights within each family are in parentheses. Italic faces follow a similar structure and correspondence.
![New v7 weights](../assets/images/weights.png){.fullsize}
<!-- PRODUCT SITE IMAGE SRC https://software.sil.org/charis/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2025/05/weights.png -->
The new intermediate weights in this extended, axis-based family can be confusing for applications that still assume families should have only four members (Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic). This is the case for Microsoft Word and some older Windows applications. For details on how to use the intermediate weights in these applications, see [Using Axis-Based Font Families](https://software.sil.org/fonts/axis-based-fonts/).
### Decreased default line spacing - and no Compact versions
The default line spacing of Charis has been significantly decreased. In the past, line spacing had to be extreme to avoid clipping of tall letters and high diacritics on Windows. This is no longer a problem, so we’ve been able to reduce the default line spacing to be more similar to other common text fonts. **We continue to recommend that you set line spacing explicitly in your document styles and preferences, and adjust it as needed for your particular situation.**
The v7 fonts do not have *Compact* variants. The new default line spacing is closer to the previous version’s *Compact* line spacing. If you still need even closer line spacing, and your application does not allow explicit control over line spacing, you can continue to use the [v6.2 Charis SIL Compact fonts](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/), which remain available. **If you need any of the new v7 features or characters, but also need them supported in a compact version please [contact us](https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/).**
TypeTuner Web no longer offers line spacing alternatives for the v7 fonts (Normal, Tight, Loose). If you need Tight or Loose variants the v6.2 fonts remain available and support line spacing alternatives.
### Special-purpose modified variants have not been updated to v7
In previous versions, special-purpose modified font variants were available that had been ‘pre-tuned’ to turn on certain features by default for some regional and *Literacy* uses. These are not available for the v7 fonts, however, the [v6.2 special-purpose fonts are still available](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/). **If you need any of the new features or characters in this version, but also need them supported in the special-purpose modified fonts please [contact us](https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/).**
Note that even in version 7 the literacy forms and other features can be manually preset with [TypeTuner Web](https://typetunerweb.languagetechnology.org/ttw/fonts2go.cgi). The only change to this is that the 'pre-tuned' versions remain at version 6.2.
## New features and character support
### New kerning
Kerning has now been added to cover the full range of alphabetic symbols except for small caps (which will be included in a future update). To make this practically useful for a wide range of languages, the letters have been clustered into overly generalized groups. This enables the kerning to apply to more combinations, but does not allow for careful fine-tuning. The generalized kerning may not be ideal in all cases, and may still require manual adjustment, but it should provide improved spacing compared with previous versions. It is very possible that we have made some mistakes in this massive kerning effort, so please [contact us](https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/) if you encounter any combinations whose spacing has been made worse than in v6.2.
**Warning: Because of the addition of extensive kerning, line, paragraph, and page lengths may be different from v6.2.**
![New kerning](../assets/images/kerning.png){.fullsize}
<!-- PRODUCT SITE IMAGE SRC https://software.sil.org/charis/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2025/05/kerning.png -->
### Proportional Oldstyle figures
Charis now includes support for standard OpenType proportional oldstyle figures (`onum`). These only apply to the main numerals, not fractions, superscripts, or numeral-based symbols.
![Oldstyle figures](../assets/images/oldstylefigures.png){.fullsize}
<!-- PRODUCT SITE IMAGE SRC https://software.sil.org/charis/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2025/05/oldstylefigures.png -->
### Capital N Left Hook default changed to lowercase style
The default form for capital N with left hook has been changed to the lowercase style to match the capital Eng. The related feature (`cv44`) has been changed to substitute the uppercase style form. See the [Feature list](features.md).
### Additional character support including Unicode 16
Support has been added for 29 additional characters, some of which were introduced in Unicode 16. For a full list see [Version History](history.md).
## Consistent autohinting
Autohinting has been improved to be more consistent across the whole family.
![Charis autohinting](../assets/images/v7autohinting.png){.fullsize}
<!-- PRODUCT SITE IMAGE SRC https://software.sil.org/charis/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2025/05/v7autohinting.png -->
<figcaption>Upright and italic faces appear more consistent in height in smaller sizes (Windows 11, Word, 9 pt, 150%, enlarged)</figcaption>
## General improvements
Other improvements have been made to over 150 glyphs, OpenType code, and other font aspects, including:
- Letters with upper-right hooks have been redesigned to improve spacing (including kerning) and reduce collisions. Some collisions have been retained to reduce unwanted whitespace within words (e.g. ƴk).
- Central European carons have improved designs and kerning.
- Bridging diacritics handle many more possible combinations. See [Using Bridging Diacritics](https://software.sil.org/fonts/bridging-diacritics/) for details on how these need to be encoded and ordered.
- The small caps feature now affects parentheses and brackets.
For more details see [Version History](history.md).
If you have any difficulty with these changes, or have other suggestions on how we can make the fonts better, please [contact us](https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/).

## Announcement list
If you would like stay informed of updates to Charis and other SIL fonts, please subscribe to the [SIL Font News Announcement List](https://groups.google.com/a/groups.sil.org/forum/#!forum/sil-font-news). For more information see [About](about.md).
Our font announcements are also available through X (formerly Twitter) [\@silfonts](https://x.com/silfonts).
## Current versions
The latest version of the fonts is always available from the [Charis download page](https://software.sil.org/charis/download/) as a .zip archive for all major platforms.
Charis is also available through the [TypeTuner Web](https://typetunerweb.languagetechnology.org/ttw/fonts2go.cgi) service, which allows you to choose among the smart font features and download a font with those features preset. This enables them to work in many applications that do not fully support OpenType. **Please note that the version 7 fonts available through TypeTuner Web no longer offer line spacing alternatives (Normal, Tight, Loose). If you need Tight or Loose variants the version 6.200 fonts remain available and support line spacing alternatives.**
## Other Charis SIL versions and variants
There are many font families based on the Charis SIL design, as summarized in this table. Current versions are in **bold**. Additional information is provided in later sections.
Font Family | Versions | Status and use
----------- | -------- | ---------------------
**Charis**|**7.000**|**Current**—recommended for all uses and users
Charis SIL|4.000–6.200|No longer recommended—please use current version
Charis SIL Compact|4.106–6.200|Fonts with reduced default line spacing—no longer recommended
Charis SIL Literacy|4.014–6.200|Literacy variants with alternate a and g forms—no longer recommended
Charis SIL Literacy Comp|4.106–6.200|Compact literacy variants—no longer recommended
Charis SIL Literacy AmArea|5.000–6.200|Literacy variants with AmArea features—no longer recommended
Charis SIL *special variant*|5.000–6.200|Modified versions for special purposes (AmArea, Mali, Tat)—no longer recommended
Charis SIL *region subset*|5.000|Subsets for particular regions (Afr, Am, APac, Cyr, CyrE, Eur, Phon, Viet)—no longer recommended
Versions prior to Charis SIL v4.000 were named SIL Charis and are no longer available.
There are also font families named ‘Charis *something*’ that were created using [TypeTuner Web](https://scripts.sil.org/ttw/fonts2go.cgi). We have no record or archive of most of these ‘tuned’ fonts, but if you are desperate to find them contact us. We may be able to point you to the distributors of those that we know about.
### *Compact* versions
The Charis version 7 fonts do not have *Compact* variants. The default line spacing has been reduced to be closer, but not identical, to the previous version’s *Compact* line spacing. Most users should use the version 7 fonts and adjust line spacing explicitly within the application if necessary. If your application does not allow control over line spacing, you can use the [version 6.200 Charis SIL Compact fonts](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/), which remain available. **If you need any of the new version 7 features or characters, but also need them supported in a compact version please [contact us](https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/).**
### Special-purpose modified variants
[Modified versions of the Charis SIL version 6.200 fonts](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/) are available that have been ‘tuned’ to turn on certain features by default. These are available for some regions and include *Literacy* versions. **These remain at version 6.200 and have not been updated to Charis version 7. If you need any of the new features or characters in this version, but also need them supported in the special-purpose modified fonts please [contact us](https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/).**
### Version 5 subsets
In the past, special *subset* versions of Charis SIL version 5 were created for specific uses. Those fonts still work and [remain available](https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/font-subsets/). These are limited versions of the fonts that support only the characters needed for a particular area or use. Subsets are available for Africa, Americas, Asia/Pacific, Europe/Eurasia, Vietnam, Phonetic, Cyrillic (Basic) and Cyrillic Extended. With the exception of the Phonetic font, the font subsets are intended for orthographic use only. We have not put anything in the other subsets for phonetic, transliteration, or transcription use. For those purposes, use the Phonetic subset. We do not intend to update these fonts, however they may still work. **We do not, however, recommend their use. In almost all cases the standard fonts are a better choice. Font size is less of a concern than it was years ago, particularly with improved compression technologies such as woff2.**
## Previous versions archive
Previous versions remain available from our [Previous versions archive](https://software.sil.org/charis/download/previous-versions).
## Change history
A detailed list of changes for each version of the fonts is on the [Version history page](history.md).

<h1 class="title">Charis - Version 7 Changes</h1>
</header>
<h2 id="new-major-release">New major release</h2>
<p>Charis version 7 is a major release with many new additions,
enhancements, and improvements. This is a summary of the most
notable changes and what you need to know if you have been using
earlier versions. <strong>Please read this carefully to understand
the major changes.</strong> For further details on these changes,
particularly regarding individual characters, see <a
href="history.html">Version History</a>.</p>
<h2 id="family-names-and-structure">Family names and structure</h2>
<h3 id="font-family-names-have-changed">Font family names have
changed</h3>
<p>Since the changes to both line metrics and spacing are so
extensive, we have changed the names of the fonts for version 7.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Charis SIL</em> is now <em>Charis</em></li>
</ul>
<p>This enables you to keep the old v6.2 fonts installed when you
install the new v7 ones. Projects and documents can then be
gradually changed to use the new v7. <strong>We do recommend that
you start using v7 right away and phase out your use of v6.2 as soon
as possible.</strong></p>
<h3 id="revised-family-groups-with-additional-weights">Revised
family groups with additional weights</h3>
<p>Charis now has additional intermediate weights. Previously
existing weights have not changed. The CSS values for the weights
within each family are in parentheses. Italic faces follow a similar
structure and correspondence.</p>
<p><img src="assets/images/weights.png" class="fullsize"
alt="New v7 weights" />
<!-- PRODUCT SITE IMAGE SRC https://software.sil.org/charis/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2025/05/weights.png --></p>
<p>The new intermediate weights in this extended, axis-based family
can be confusing for applications that still assume families should
have only four members (Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic). This is
the case for Microsoft Word and some older Windows applications. For
details on how to use the intermediate weights in these
applications, see <a
href="https://software.sil.org/fonts/axis-based-fonts/">Using
Axis-Based Font Families</a>.</p>
<h3
id="decreased-default-line-spacing---and-no-compact-versions">Decreased
default line spacing - and no Compact versions</h3>
<p>The default line spacing of Charis has been significantly
decreased. In the past, line spacing had to be extreme to avoid
clipping of tall letters and high diacritics on Windows. This is no
longer a problem, so we’ve been able to reduce the default line
spacing to be more similar to other common text fonts. <strong>We
continue to recommend that you set line spacing explicitly in your
document styles and preferences, and adjust it as needed for your
particular situation.</strong></p>
<p>The v7 fonts do not have <em>Compact</em> variants. The new
default line spacing is closer to the previous version’s
<em>Compact</em> line spacing. If you still need even closer line
spacing, and your application does not allow explicit control over
line spacing, you can continue to use the <a
href="https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/">v6.2 Charis SIL
Compact fonts</a>, which remain available. <strong>If you need any
of the new v7 features or characters, but also need them supported
in a compact version please <a
href="https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/">contact
us</a>.</strong></p>
<p>TypeTuner Web no longer offers line spacing alternatives for the
v7 fonts (Normal, Tight, Loose). If you need Tight or Loose variants
the v6.2 fonts remain available and support line spacing
alternatives.</p>
<h3
id="special-purpose-modified-variants-have-not-been-updated-to-v7">Special-purpose
modified variants have not been updated to v7</h3>
<p>In previous versions, special-purpose modified font variants were
available that had been ‘pre-tuned’ to turn on certain features by
default for some regional and <em>Literacy</em> uses. These are not
available for the v7 fonts, however, the <a
href="https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/">v6.2
special-purpose fonts are still available</a>. <strong>If you need
any of the new features or characters in this version, but also need
them supported in the special-purpose modified fonts please <a
href="https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/">contact
us</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Note that even in version 7 the literacy forms and other features
can be manually preset with <a
href="https://typetunerweb.languagetechnology.org/ttw/fonts2go.cgi">TypeTuner
Web</a>. The only change to this is that the 'pre-tuned' versions
remain at version 6.2.</p>
<h2 id="new-features-and-character-support">New features and
character support</h2>
<h3 id="new-kerning">New kerning</h3>
<p>Kerning has now been added to cover the full range of alphabetic
symbols except for small caps (which will be included in a future
update). To make this practically useful for a wide range of
languages, the letters have been clustered into overly generalized
groups. This enables the kerning to apply to more combinations, but
does not allow for careful fine-tuning. The generalized kerning may
not be ideal in all cases, and may still require manual adjustment,
but it should provide improved spacing compared with previous
versions. It is very possible that we have made some mistakes in
this massive kerning effort, so please <a
href="https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/">contact us</a>
if you encounter any combinations whose spacing has been made worse
than in v6.2.</p>
<p><strong>Warning: Because of the addition of extensive kerning,
line, paragraph, and page lengths may be different from
v6.2.</strong></p>

alt="New kerning" />
<!-- PRODUCT SITE IMAGE SRC https://software.sil.org/charis/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2025/05/kerning.png --></p>
<h3 id="proportional-oldstyle-figures">Proportional Oldstyle
figures</h3>
<p>Charis now includes support for standard OpenType proportional
oldstyle figures (<code>onum</code>). These only apply to the main
numerals, not fractions, superscripts, or numeral-based symbols.</p>
<p><img src="assets/images/oldstylefigures.png" class="fullsize"
alt="Oldstyle figures" />
<!-- PRODUCT SITE IMAGE SRC https://software.sil.org/charis/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2025/05/oldstylefigures.png --></p>
<h3
id="capital-n-left-hook-default-changed-to-lowercase-style">Capital
N Left Hook default changed to lowercase style</h3>
<p>The default form for capital N with left hook has been changed to
the lowercase style to match the capital Eng. The related feature
(<code>cv44</code>) has been changed to substitute the uppercase
style form. See the <a href="features.html">Feature list</a>.</p>
<h3
id="additional-character-support-including-unicode-16">Additional
character support including Unicode 16</h3>
<p>Support has been added for 29 additional characters, some of
which were introduced in Unicode 16. For a full list see <a
href="history.html">Version History</a>.</p>
<h2 id="consistent-autohinting">Consistent autohinting</h2>
<p>Autohinting has been improved to be more consistent across the
whole family.</p>
<img src="assets/images/v7autohinting.png" class="fullsize"
alt="Charis autohinting" />
<!-- PRODUCT SITE IMAGE SRC https://software.sil.org/charis/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2025/05/v7autohinting.png -->
<figcaption>
Upright and italic faces appear more consistent in height in smaller
sizes (Windows 11, Word, 9 pt, 150%, enlarged)
</figcaption>
<h2 id="general-improvements">General improvements</h2>
<p>Other improvements have been made to over 150 glyphs, OpenType
code, and other font aspects, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Letters with upper-right hooks have been redesigned to improve
spacing (including kerning) and reduce collisions. Some collisions
have been retained to reduce unwanted whitespace within words (e.g.
ƴk).</li>
<li>Central European carons have improved designs and kerning.</li>
<li>Bridging diacritics handle many more possible combinations. See
<a href="https://software.sil.org/fonts/bridging-diacritics/">Using
Bridging Diacritics</a> for details on how these need to be encoded
and ordered.</li>
<li>The small caps feature now affects parentheses and
brackets.</li>
</ul>
<p>For more details see <a href="history.html">Version
History</a>.</p>

suggestions on how we can make the fonts better, please <a

Web</a> service, which allows you to choose among the smart font
features and download a font with those features preset. This
enables them to work in many applications that do not fully support
OpenType. <strong>Please note that the version 7 fonts available
through TypeTuner Web no longer offer line spacing alternatives
(Normal, Tight, Loose). If you need Tight or Loose variants the
version 6.200 fonts remain available and support line spacing
alternatives.</strong></p>

</table>
<p>Versions prior to Charis SIL v4.000 were named SIL Charis and are
no longer available.</p>
<p>There are also font families named ‘Charis <em>something</em>’
that were created using <a
href="https://scripts.sil.org/ttw/fonts2go.cgi">TypeTuner Web</a>.
We have no record or archive of most of these ‘tuned’ fonts, but if
you are desperate to find them contact us. We may be able to point
you to the distributors of those that we know about.</p>
<h3 id="compact-versions"><em>Compact</em> versions</h3>
<p>The Charis version 7 fonts do not have <em>Compact</em> variants.
The default line spacing has been reduced to be closer, but not
identical, to the previous version’s <em>Compact</em> line spacing.
Most users should use the version 7 fonts and adjust line spacing
explicitly within the application if necessary. If your application
does not allow control over line spacing, you can use the <a
href="https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/">version 6.200
Charis SIL Compact fonts</a>, which remain available. <strong>If you
need any of the new version 7 features or characters, but also need
them supported in a compact version please <a
href="https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/">contact
us</a>.</strong></p>
<h3 id="special-purpose-modified-variants">Special-purpose modified
variants</h3>
<p><a href="https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/download/">Modified
versions of the Charis SIL version 6.200 fonts</a> are available
that have been ‘tuned’ to turn on certain features by default. These
are available for some regions and include <em>Literacy</em>
versions. <strong>These remain at version 6.200 and have not been
updated to Charis version 7. If you need any of the new features or
characters in this version, but also need them supported in the
special-purpose modified fonts please <a
href="https://software.sil.org/charis/about/contact/">contact
us</a>.</strong></p>
<h3 id="version-5-subsets">Version 5 subsets</h3>
<p>In the past, special <em>subset</em> versions of Charis SIL
version 5 were created for specific uses. Those fonts still work and
<a href="https://software.sil.org/lcgfonts/font-subsets/">remain
available</a>. These are limited versions of the fonts that support
only the characters needed for a particular area or use. Subsets are
available for Africa, Americas, Asia/Pacific, Europe/Eurasia,
Vietnam, Phonetic, Cyrillic (Basic) and Cyrillic Extended. With the
exception of the Phonetic font, the font subsets are intended for
orthographic use only. We have not put anything in the other subsets
for phonetic, transliteration, or transcription use. For those
purposes, use the Phonetic subset. We do not intend to update these
fonts, however they may still work. <strong>We do not, however,
recommend their use. In almost all cases the standard fonts are a
better choice. Font size is less of a concern than it was years ago,
particularly with improved compression technologies such as
woff2.</strong></p>
<h2 id="previous-versions-archive">Previous versions archive</h2>
<p>Previous versions remain available from our <a
