Gentium ("belonging to the nations" in Latin) is a Unicode typeface family

designed to enable the many diverse ethnic groups around the world who use
|

the Latin script to produce readable, high-quality publications. The design
|

|
|
Gentium provides glyphs for a wide range of Latin and Greek characters. The
|
|
additional 'extended' Latin letters are designed to naturally harmonize with
|
|
the traditional 26 ones. Diacritics are treated with careful thought and
|
|
attention to their use. Gentium also supports both ancient and modern Greek,
|
|
including a number of alternate forms. It currently supports the following
|
|
ranges of Unicode 3.0 (completely unless noted):
|
|
|
|
