Merope is an example. Should support Yoruba or Fulani character set.

Merope Basic

saracarl commented 6 years ago

The the only web font I've found called Merope-anything is this one: https://www.fontshop.com/families/pleiad/merope And I don't think it's what you had in mind.

I think the Merope Basic font you referenced is a print font only.

I did find a family of AfroRoman fonts, here: https://www.linguistsoftware.com/afrou.htm that support African characters. Scroll down to "font samples". Unfortunately, using a commercial, specialized font is not a feasible solution for widely read webpages. (See https://www.linguistsoftware.com/faq-gen.htm#G13)

@henlovejoy What other fonts do you use in your work, especially online or locally on your computer?

henlovejoy commented 6 years ago

For fonts I think that we don't need to focus on African characters immediately since there are none yet. So, I am really open to whichever font. Open source will be best, of course. I will be happy with one that has good operability across the browsers.

From the meeting: let's just use Helvetica.
