Gentium provides glyphs for a wide range of Latin and Greek characters. The
additional 'extended' Latin letters are designed to naturally harmonize with
the traditional 26 ones. Diacritics are treated with careful thought and
attention to their use. Gentium also supports both ancient and modern Greek,
-including a number of alternate forms. It currently supports the following
-ranges of Unicode 3.0 (completely unless noted):

drafts. A future version will include a completely revised set, including
