You have made changes to the font in the preview.css file. Is this because Georgian characters weren't being displayed properly, or is it just a personal preference? |
|
The main problem, which I faced was displaying of Georgian characters: a) together with combining double tilde: character + ͠ (from Unicode chart 0360) and b) non syllabic u: უ̂ (from Unicode chart 10e3 + 0302) |
|
And did changing the fonts in preview.css fix those issues? If so, we may have to investigate whether any royalty-free fonts which can be used on the georgian.bodleian.ox.ac.uk web site provide the same character support. We can specify the same fonts you've used, but they will only work for visitors which have them installed on their computers. |

I have seen the fonts indicated in preview.css, especially: Baskerville, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, Century Schoolbook L, Times New Roman, serif. After the cloning of repository I have not changed these fonts in preview.css. I worked only in Oxygen in 'collections' folder, where I turned my preferences to DejavuSans (I mean in Oxygen), because of the problems mentioned above. In case of Georgian the best font family is DejaVu Sans Font Family. |
