As a designer, I like having more weights myself, like “Light,” and “Semi-Bold,” but for a free font that is compatible with the Comanche characters, it is a decent choice. This only comes with a standard Regular and Bold weight. It seems that when Microsoft creates a font, they go all out with language compatibility. The nice designer friendly aspect of this font is that it does have a few weights to it, which will give you some options in your designs.Ĭambria is a serif font that comes by default on Windows computers. I don’t find the font particuarily stylish, but it is indeed widely available and Microsoft did take the time to make make glyphs as part of the font package, so this is another choice of font to use when any common user is trying to draft a Word document or email. Well, Calibri took the spotlight to Microsoft products by being the default font for some time in Word. I was glad to find Arimo was one of my few chosen “designer” fonts that is compatible with the Comanche language. It is a very neutral font, and I would say it is a decent free alternative to Helvetica. This is a font that I chose to install on my computer for use in a design. It is not my favourite choice and likely wouldn’t be chosen by a professional graphic designer, but it is a system font that every day people can pick to use in email or Word documents, so that is some kudos to Arial for being compatible with Comanche language. Often joked about by designer’s as Helvetica’s ugly cousin, this font is pulls some more points by having the ʉ glyph. I have even emailed the author of Raleway to see if they could add in the “bar u” glyph (crossing my fingers).įonts Compatible with Comanche (Nʉmʉnʉʉ) Language: Arial This will let people begin to type in Comanche, which will allow the endangered language to be easier to use. Part of this will require font designers to start including the often overlooked glyphs into font families. The language has to make the evolutionary leap from spoken word to digital. If keeping the Comanche language alive is a goal, I think it is critical to use the language more often, particularly in web situations where the language can live and spread. If you do have to pick between the two, picking a font that has your needed glyphs is more critical than any stylistic benefit, so even though not all designers would endorse all these fonts during normal circumstances, having these fonts does make it possible to at least type in Comanche. It can affect communication, by making it easy to read, or adding style. As a graphic designer, having a well designed font is important to me. Since I found a tough time trying to find fonts with the needed glyphs, I thought it would be nice to have a handy list of Comanche language compatible fonts, so I decided to make one. Me, being a designer wanted to look at the glyphs in Illustrator but I ran into a problem really fast: Most fonts do not carry the needed glyphs, so I went through all the fonts (for better or worse) on my computer and found the fonts that had the needed glyphs. As part of my ancestral heritage, I was learning the Comanche alphabet.
