OskiDene is a member of the Oski Series of
Unicode fonts. Oski is a Cree prefix meaning “New”, which reflects the
modern look to the syllabics. There are several aspects which make this font
specially suited for the Dene languages.
-
The syllabics are sized more proportionately.
-
Some of the syllabics shapes are in a more
old-style
-
The finals are sized and positioned
appropriately.
-
There are OpenType tables that will position
the finals properly. Any final followed by a superscript ² will be placed
mid-line; any final followed by a superscript ³ will be placed at the base
line. Note: I have found that this only works properly in Adobe InDesign.
This family contains specially made Italic,
Bold, and Bold-Italic fonts, giving a much more attractive document than
when a word-processor attempts to italicise a regular font. |
