<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>
