Apparatus SIL

Apparatus SIL was designed to provide most of the symbols needed to reproduce the textual apparatus found in major editions of Greek and Hebrew biblical texts. The font includes the Basic Latin character set plus some international characters, certain Greek, Hebrew, Fraktur and other letters used for manuscripts, superscript characters, special punctuation, and other Signa and Sigla used in documenting manuscript contents.

The font was designed to be similar to Charis SIL, with optimum clarity and compactness at small point sizes, so that both can be used in a single document with a consistency of style.

Apparatus uses OpenType and Graphite technology to provide rendering information needed by application and system software. Usability of the features provided in these fonts will depend on the exact capabilities of your software. Some of the characters are in plane 1 of Unicode and your software will need to be able to display plane 1 characters.
