The Greek alphabet is one of the oldest known writing systems, having been adapted from the Phoenician alphabet about 3,000 years ago. This is the standard character set in most PostScript Type 1 fonts from Adobe.įonts with an Adobe CE character set also include the characters necessary to support the following central European languages: Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian (Latin), Slovak, Slovenian, and Turkish. Adobe Western 2 is the new minimum character set standard implemented in OpenType fonts from Adobe.įonts with an ISO-Adobe character set support most western languages including: Afrikaans, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Gaelic, German, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Sami, Spanish, Swahili, and Swedish. Adobe Western 2 also adds 17 more symbol characters: euro, liter, estimated, omega, pi, partialdiff, delta, product, summation, radical, infinity, integral, approxequal, notequal, lessequal, greater equal, and lozenge. BTW this is for a personal project I'm doing on Android somewhat related to architecture but not really, so if there is no other option I may need to create a custom TextView class for backward compatibility T.T.Fonts with an Adobe Western 2 character set support most western languages including: Afrikaans, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Gaelic, German, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Sami, Spanish, Swahili, and Swedish. the width of the letter is not as much of a problem as its spacing between the letters, so I don't know if the 'kerning' word is correctly applied here. I'm not too familiar with the terminology so, I hope I'm not using it wrong. So my aim is to use a version that resembles medium, maybe with a little less weight, but definitely with less kerning.

I'm not very familiar with the font world, so this was news to me, but I still want to be able to use it, specially for displaying numbers, the problem is that it takes too much space, because of the spacing between characters, that being the main reason why I'm choosing a different font for letters. I have used this font since early 2000's, I work in architecture and all my drawings have used this font, and I just recently found out that it has become somewhat overrated.
