# Go Noto Universal
Noto Fonts go universal! Did you ever want "one font for all languages"? Download pan-Unicode, Noto
Fonts merged according to the time of usage (current,
ancient) or geographical region (Africa-MiddleEast, Europe-Americas, South Asia, SE Asia).
We offer two types of combined fonts:
1. Time-based:
- **GoNotoKurrent** covers pretty much all the scripts in current, widespread use all over the
world. This is designed to be a "good enough" font for modern, living scripts without being
exhaustive.
- **GoNotoAncient** covers all the historical, obsolete and liturgical scripts.
2. Region-based:
Choose a single font based on where you live or whichever region you're interested in:
Africa - Middle East, East Asia, Europe - Americas, South Asia or South East Asia.
See caveats too.
## Download
If you simply want to _use_ the fonts, go to Releases page
and download what you need. If you're unsure what to download, you probably need
GoNotoKurrent-Regular.ttf[^1]. If you want better support for emoji and symbols, try
GoNotoCurrent-Regular.ttf. A **bold** variant of the font is also available (-Bold.ttf).
Development builds are available from GitHub
Actions page. Click on any workflow with green
checkmark ✅ (pipeline passed) and under "Artifacts", download "GoNotoTemporalFonts.zip" and
"GoNotoRegionalFonts.zip" (login required).
> **_NOTE:_** Even if there are no regular commits to this repo, the CI pipeline builds new Go Noto
> fonts everyday, pulling the latest Noto Fonts from upstream (using a scheduled cron). So, download
> the "Artifacts" from the "Actions" page to get the best features and bug fixes from Noto Fonts.
## Build
If you want to _build_ the fonts yourself, create a virtual environment (venv) and run the script
you want:
```
python3 -m venv venv_fonty
source venv_fonty/bin/activate
./temporal_fonts.sh # generates GoNotoAncient.ttf and GoNotoCurrent.ttf
./regional_fonts.sh # generates GoNoto[AfricaMiddleEast|EuropeAmericas|...].ttf
