The Ethiopic script does not require much rendering except for some combining marks for gemination and vowel length. However, there are some glyph variations for the Ethiopic script. Some applications let the user control certain features such as Character Variants to turn on the rendering of variant characters. However, at this point, most applications do not make use of those features so another solution is needed to show the variant characters. <a href=\"https:\/\/scripts.sil.org\/ttw\/fonts2go.cgi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TypeTuner<\/a> creates tuned fonts that use the variant glyph in place of the standard glyph. TypeTuner also provides the ability to turn on support for the Sebat Bet Gurage and Gumuz languages variants.<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/software.sil.org\/fonts\/features\/\">Using Font Features<\/a>. Although that page is not targeted at Ethiopic support, it does provide a comprehensive list of applications that make full use of the OpenType font technology.<\/p>\n<h2>Advanced typographic capabilities<\/h2>\n<p>This font supports various advanced typographic capabilities using the OpenType font technology.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Auto placement of diacritics on Ethiopic syllables only (not on Latin characters)<\/li>\n<li>Kerning of almost 200 pairs of Ethiopic syllables<\/li>\n<li>OpenType Character Variants (alternately-designed glyphs are also provided for a number of characters for use in particular contexts) <\/li>\n<li>OpenType support for the Sebat Bet Gurage [sgw] and Gumuz [guk] languages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These capabilities are available in any application that supports OpenType technology, though this requires applications that provide a sufficient level of support for OpenType Character Variant features.<\/p>\n<p>A sample of diacritic placement and kerning is shown below:<\/p>\n<p><img class='fullsize' alt='Abyssinica SIL Sample - Diacritic placement and Kerning' src='https:\/\/software.sil.org\/abyssinica\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2016\/02\/Abyssinica_SampleDiacKern.png' \/><br \/>\n<em>Abyssinica SIL Sample &#8211; Diacritic placement and Kerning<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This page uses web fonts (WOFF2) to demonstrate font features and should display correctly in all modern browsers.
