fonts-sil-gentiumplus-compact
extended smart font family for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic
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 is
intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and visually attractive.
Gentium has won a "Certificate of Excellence in Typeface Design" in two major
international typeface design competitions: bukva:raz! (2001) and TDC2003
(2003). The goal is to provide a single Unicode-based font family that
contains a comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for almost any Roman- or
Cyrillic-based writing system, whether used for phonetic or orthographic
needs, and provide a matching Greek face. In addition, there is provision for
other characters and symbols useful to linguists. This font makes use of
state-of-the-art font technologies to support complex typographic issues, such
as the need to position arbitrary combinations of base glyphs and diacritics
optimally.

texlive-fonts-extra-links
TeX Live: Setup of fonts for TeX Live and search via kpathsea
This package ships links to all the fonts that are originally in TeX Live,
collection fonts-extra, but are not shipped in the Debian package
texlive-fonts-extra due to availability in separate packages. . For
documents searching these fonts by file name instead of using fontconfig
lookups, the font files need to be linked into the TEXMF tree of TeX Live.
This package ships these links and depends on all the font packages
required.
fonts-sil-alkalami
Font for Arabic-based writing systems in the Kano region
Alkalami is the local word for the Arabic "qalam", a type of sharpened stick
used for writing on wooden boards in the Kano region of Nigeria and in Niger,
and what gives the style its distinct appearance. The baseline stroke is very
thick and solid. The ascenders and other vertical strokes including the teeth
are very narrow when compared to the baseline. A generous line height is
necessary to allow for deep swashes and descenders, and the overall look of
the page is a very black, solid rectangle. Diacritics are much smaller in
scale, with very little distance from the main letters.
fonts-sil-akatab
Akatab is a Tifinagh font
Akatab is a TrueType font for the Tifinagh script with smart font capabilities
added using state-of-the-art 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.
