FONTLOG Sophia Nubian Font Sources ======================== This file provides detailed information on the Sophia Nubian font files. This information should be distributed along with the Sophia Nubian fonts and any derivative works. Basic Font Information ---------------------- Sophia Nubian is a sans serif, Unicode-compliant font based on the SIL Sophia (similar to Univers) typeface. Its primary purpose is to provide adequate representation for Nubian languages which use the Coptic Unicode character set. Since Nubian languages do not use casing, uppercase characters are not included in this font. A basic set of Latin glyphs is also provided. Although we do not plan any major revisions to this package, we may (or may not) fix major problems, and so we will remain as maintainers of this package.
