These are TrueType +fonts with additional tables containing smart rendering information and +were originally developed to support complex non-Roman writing systems. +They may contain rules for e.g. ligatures, glyph substitution, kerning, +justification - this can make them useful even on text written in Roman +writing systems such as English. Note that firefox provides an internal +copy of the graphite engine and cannot use a system version, but it too +should benefit from the availability of graphite fonts. |
