Myanmar Unicode fonts

Introduction

The CSS3 font module specification is available at:

• CSS Fonts Module Level 3
• Editors draft

A typeface or font family consist of a series of fonts based on the same typeface design but differing based on:

• weight or stroke width, e.g. thin, light, regular (normal, Roman), bold, black, etc
• slope or style, e.g upright (Roman, normal, regular), italic and oblique (slanted)
• character width or stretch, e.g. compressed (condensed, narrow) versus extended (expanded), etc.

The CSS property font-family is used to select the typeface. While font-weight is used to select a particular weight or stroke width of the typeface, font-style is used to select a particular slope or style of the typeface, and font-stretch is used to select a particular character width or stretch of the typeface.

A typeface may contain a single font, or a typeface may contain multiple fonts representing different weights, styles and stretches. If a font of the appropriate weight, style or stretch is not available, but the normal version of the typeface is available, the web browsers will create a synthetic font to use. Synthetic fonts may be distorted and will not look as good as an actual font. Myanmar script Unicode fonts

As can be seen from the table all Myanmar script Unicode fonts come in a single style and a single stretch. While eight fonts are available in two or more weights.

mym2 is defined in Creating and Supporting OpenType Fonts for Myanmar Script

mymr uses the default shaper in Uniscribe.
