Gurage Font Collection
# Gurage Font Collection
The collection is built upon fonts under the SIL Open Font License (OFL)
where changes and additions are made to support the orthography. The font names are
changed by simply prefixing "Gurage" to the original names. A single exception is
made for the "Abyssinica SIL" font which begun supporting the 2013 Gurage orthography
in version 2.1 on June 9th, 2021.
Changes made can be found in the individual FONTLOG files in this repository.
