- 28 November 2005
- ========================
-
-
- Read some of the comments sent to us by various grateful Gentium users:
-
-
- 'Purpose: to build a free multilingual font to bring better typography to
- thousands of languages around the globe. I can think of no higher calling.'
-
- '...an interesting blend of economical use of space, a serious tone of voice
- and a modern informal dress code.'
-
- 'Thank you for this fantastic font set -- fantastic both in its purpose and
- in its appearance and usability!'
-
- 'Finally I can include Greek characters in my English papers without looking
- typographically schizophrenic!'
-
- 'Thank you so much for sharing this amazing work. I do love the vision you
- have for "written word empowering". This is ethical science at its best.'
-
- 'Our language restoration project thanks you.'
-
- 'distinctive, elegant and readable'
-
- 'a very warm look'
-
- 'great consistency and legibility'
-
- 'lotion for the eyes'
-
- 'Your typeface Gentium is a "friendly" font to me. It's easy to read and its
- lines and visual connections flow gently.'
-
- 'I needed a nice serif font with haceks and other diacriticals... and was
- very happy to find your Gentium. Thank you for making this available to us
- poorer academic perfectionists!'
-
- 'Your font is definitely the most complete and good-looking I've found for
- my uses in Classical Greek.'
-
- '...the various letters in the Extended-Latin and IPA ranges look "native"
- to the font.'
-
- '...diacritic Nirvana...'
-
- 'Thank you very much for this excellent font. It is the most readable I have
- ever seen.'
-
- 'Officina Gentium: The workshop of the world.'
-
- 'Commercial quality for free! That's the best free font that I see.'
-
- 'May I congratulate you on what seems to be an outstanding effort matched
- only by your generosity.'
-
- 'I will be using this font regularly and will be recommending it strongly to
- others. This is a very beautiful typeface. What you have done is a most
- generous gift to the world.'
-
- 'Many thanks. I have an esthetic dislike of "Times" fonts and a scholar's
- budget. Now I have Gentium and I'm pleased as punch.'
-
- 'I appreciate your project, that of making a font suitable for many
- languages, including smaller ones.'
-
- 'I am not sure where in the world I will end up, so I need something all
- inclusive. Thanks so much!'
-
- 'Thanks for such a beautiful and mind-bogglingly useful typeface!'
