More Sámi support (actually already supported, I think)

Open illfygli opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

Hej! Today I read about the Skeena Indigenous Typeface, which supports Native American languages. It made me curious if there's a typeface that supports all the Sámi languages, and I remembered that time when I requested Elfdalian support in Inter, and decided to check what's missing for full Sámi support.

I saw that Northern Sámi is already listed as supported (edit: I missed that Inari is listed too), so I checked the orthographies of the Lule, Pite, Ume, and Southern Sámi languages, as well Skolt, Inari, Ter and Kildin Sámi to the east, and as far as I can tell, they are all fully supported. When I paste the whole bunch into the Inter playground, my browser says that every glyph is rendered by Inter.

So I think you can add those as supported languages, though I'd be happy for more people to chime in; I am only really familiar with Southern and Ume Sámi.

Most Sámi languages use Latin alphabets, with these respective additional letters. The image below is Inter v4.1. Image

Note: this was in my notes, but I think the original source is Wikip.
