Foreword
  • This template plays a huge part in the lifecycle of our font packages.
  • Use it to create « Name_Font » or « Name_Fonts » pages:
    • Name_Fonts should be « Foo_fonts » and not « FooFonts_fonts » or « FooFont_fonts ».
    • use the Foundry Name convention if necessary (i.e « SIL_Abyssinica_fonts » good, « Abyssinica_SIL_fonts » bad).
  • Frames that use this style are redaction tips. Please remove them from your page once they are no longer necessary. Do the same for the lorem ipsum bits.
  • Remember the more complete and accurate the information you add is, the more likely a font is to be packaged and widely used.
  • Do not forget to update the page categorization once the font status changes.

Fill in the following information:
  • Homepage ① is a link to the font project upstream home, for example DejaVu.
  • Format ② we prefer modern OpenType (TTF/OTF) fonts, and Unicode encoding is mandatory[1]. If the font includes advanced smart font features such as locl or hinting, please document them too.
  • License ③ should correspond to an entry on our legal page. If that's not the case please follow the procedure documented on that page to check the license acceptability.
