fonts/sil-fonts/akatab 4.000 OpenBSD

Akatab is a complete Unicode font for rendering Tifinagh characters in the Tamahaq, Tamashek, and Tawallammat languages. Akatab ("writing") is designed to reflect a handwriting style and even the "writing in sand" effect.

This font uses state-of-the-art OpenType font technology to provide accurate typography, including the formation of bi-consonant ligatures. Variations of characters are included in the font to meet personal and regional preferences. Documentation included with the font package shows these variants and how to access them.

Historically, this writing system has been written in both right-to-left and left-to-right orientations. Akatab has all the necessary characters and technical features to write in both directions.

Inclusion of basic Latin repertoire is provided as a convenience, e.g., for use in menus or for displaying markup in text files. This font is not intended for extensive Latin script use.
