========================<br />
<br />
<br />
Read some of the comments sent to us by various grateful Gentium users:<br />
<br />
<br />
'Purpose: to build a free multilingual font to bring better typography to<br />
thousands of languages around the globe. I can think of no higher calling.'<br />
<br />
'...an interesting blend of economical use of space, a serious tone of voice<br />
and a modern informal dress code.'<br />
<br />
'Thank you for this fantastic font set -- fantastic both in its purpose and<br />
in its appearance and usability!'<br />
<br />
'Finally I can include Greek characters in my English papers without looking<br />
typographically schizophrenic!'<br />
<br />
'Thank you so much for sharing this amazing work. I do love the vision you<br />
have for "written word empowering". This is ethical science at its best.'<br />
<br />
'Our language restoration project thanks you.'<br />
<br />
'distinctive, elegant and readable'<br />
<br />
'a very warm look'<br />
<br />
'great consistency and legibility'<br />
<br />
'lotion for the eyes'<br />
<br />
'Your typeface Gentium is a "friendly" font to me. It's easy to read and its<br />
lines and visual connections flow gently.'<br />
<br />
'I needed a nice serif font with haceks and other diacriticals... and was<br />
very happy to find your Gentium. Thank you for making this available to us<br />
poorer academic perfectionists!'<br />
<br />
'Your font is definitely the most complete and good-looking I've found for<br />
my uses in Classical Greek.'<br />
<br />
'...the various letters in the Extended-Latin and IPA ranges look "native"<br />
to the font.'<br />
<br />
'...diacritic Nirvana...'<br />
<br />
'Thank you very much for this excellent font. It is the most readable I have<br />
ever seen.'<br />
<br />
'Officina Gentium: The workshop of the world.'<br />
<br />
'Commercial quality for free! That's the best free font that I see.'<br />
<br />
'May I congratulate you on what seems to be an outstanding effort matched<br />
only by your generosity.'<br />
<br />
'I will be using this font regularly and will be recommending it strongly to<br />
others. This is a very beautiful typeface. What you have done is a most<br />
generous gift to the world.'<br />
<br />
'Many thanks. I have an esthetic dislike of "Times" fonts and a scholar's<br />
budget. Now I have Gentium and I'm pleased as punch.'<br />
<br />
'I appreciate your project, that of making a font suitable for many<br />
languages, including smaller ones.'<br />
<br />
'I am not sure where in the world I will end up, so I need something all<br />
inclusive. Thanks so much!'<br />
<br />
'Thanks for such a beautiful and mind-bogglingly useful typeface!'<br />
