I am a teacher in greek elementary school and i 'm glad to see your job!!! Do we have any news for greek alphabet?

[reedy]

I'd completely forgotten I logged this request (I'm not a greek speaker). I'm guessing that nothing has been done as of yet :(

[antijingoist]

3 characters so far. Currently, I'm the only one maintaining this, so progress may be slower than most expect.

[jslafas]

Can we help in some way? I would be glad to help in this project...

[antijingoist]

Attaching Vectors of the characters you want to see would be a huge help. There's approximately 400 separate characters for full Greek support, which is a lot to take on.

[jslafas]

do you meen the relation between greek and latin letters on key map?

Hi there, I have added support for Greek characters in 3 of the 6 typefaces. Available typefaces are: OpenDyslexicAlta-Bold OpenDyslexicMono-Regular OpenDyslexic-Regular

The typefaces where created via Fontlab's - Studio 5 and .vfb files are available on request.

TTF files available for download from here Edit: The above link, also includes .vfb files. It will be great to know that this was on someones benefit.

Thank you all, Dennis

[jslafas]

thank you!

[antijingoist]

Thanks!

Feel free to share the VFBs. Fontlab is out of budget tho, so I couldn't use them (unless the demo allows exporting? I'll try that later today). 😬

I know a lot of people feel the same way about my use of glyphs app though, but at the time fontforge was subpar and glyphs is still insanely cheaper than fontlab. 😀

I'm a bit behind on things still. See: https://twitter.com/Antijingoist/status/694009814154940416

[antijingoist]

I'm adding these in now, with some other requested changes. Might be a bit before I push it into a release, but hopefully not too long.

[antijingoist]

I forgot to close this after adding it. I think I fell asleep. :D Added in greek to the original back in 2016, used @d-skaltsis glyphs. Added in greek to the sil-ofl version , used @d-skaltsis where needed and as reference.

Seems we never pulled this into our usage, and it seems we're still on 03aa683

https://github.com/antijingoist/open-dyslexic/compare/03aa683...master

Will bring this into our usage upstream - https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-UniversalLanguageSelector/blob/master/data/fontrepo/fonts/OpenDyslexic/font.ini#L3

Thanks! :)

Have the fonts been compiled/transferred recently? The otf are newer than other fonts, which suggests the extra characters haven't been brought in yet

Looks like they haven't.. If you could re-compile the ttf and woff... That'd be appreciated :)

[antijingoist]

Hi Reedy,

Sure. It wasn't the automatic process it is now, so I'll get those setup. Working on another release with expanded support also, and at least those will autogenerate. :)

[reedy]

If you remember, can you give me a ping when it's done? Thanks!

[antijingoist]

It's my 9-5 for the time being, so I'd feel really bad if I didn't. :D

I have a few more glyphs to add.

[antijingoist]

I have an RC2 if interested. the repository and releases are in antijingoist/opendyslexic Edited to add example image w/ color glyphs.
