Literacy package
The Literacy fonts are identical to the main Charis SIL fonts, except that the default forms for ‘a’ and ‘g’ have been changed to those often preferred by literacy specialists – single-story ‘a’ and single-bowl ‘g’. Note the following:
- OpenType and Graphite features may not work as expected, and particularly those that interact with the Literacy Alternates feature.
- Diacritic placement may not be ideal in some cases, although we’ve tried to be sure that this works in most situations.
- This font is a one-off special version, and is not likely to be updated alongside future versions of Charis SIL.
- This font is also released under the SIL Open Font License, but we strongly encourage you to use the main Charis SIL release as the source for any derivative versions.
If you encounter problems, your best solution is to use the main Charis SIL font release.
