We have created subsets of our Latin and Cyrillic fonts for different regions of the world. See Font Subsets for further information.
There are also fonts created using TypeTuner Web to choose particular features. See the Modified Fonts for Special Uses section of the linked page for further information.
Legacy Fonts
As stated above, most of the following fonts have been updated to a Unicode-compliant version. (Previous versions of Ezra, Galatia, and Namdhinggo can be found on their respective pages listed above.) If you have data written using a legacy font, we strongly recommend converting that data to a Unicode font. We have a text encoding conversion toolkit specifically for that task: TECkit.
