FONTLOG Judson font ========================== This file provides detailed information on the Judson font. This information should be distributed along with the Judson font and any derivative works. Basic Font Information ---------------------- Judson is a serif font designed for African literacy. It contains as many glyphs and precomposed combinations that I know of for all African languages written in Latin-derived alphabets. It uses OpenType tables for correct placement of diacritical marks, including stacked marks. Care has been taken so that all characters are easily distinguished, even in the italic face. The medium roman face also contains support for the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Currently Judson is only available in roman, italic and bold faces; at this time there is no bold italic. Judson is not suitable for setting Icelandic or Old/Middle English texts, because the uppercase Eth (U+00D0) takes a unique African form.
