  Description     : smart font for the many languages using Devanagari


Description:


Annapurna SIL is a TrueType font with "smart font" capabilities added
using OpenType and Graphite font technologies. This means that complex
typographic issues such as the placement of combining marks or the
formation of ligatures are handled by the font, provided you are running
an application that provides an adequate level of support for one of
these smart font technologies.

These fonts are named after the majestic Annapurna mountain range of
Nepal. The goal is to provide a Unicode-based font family with support
for the many diverse languages that use Devanagari script to produce
readable, high-quality publications.

The design is intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and
visually attractive.

Annapurna SIL has a calligraphic design that reflects the stroke
contrast of writing the characters with a broad nib used for Devanagari.

This package includes formats and templates for usage on the web.
