This version supports Unicode 5.1!

Note

In this font, the 17 of our PUA characters that were added to Unicode 5.1 are accessible by both the PUA and Unicode codepoints. This is the only change in this release. No new characters, glyphs or features were added.
Those characters are:

PUA	Uni 5.1	Character name
U+F19C	U+A71B	MODIFIER LETTER RAISED UP ARROW
U+F19D	U+A71C	MODIFIER LETTER RAISED DOWN ARROW
U+F19E	U+A71D	MODIFIER LETTER AFRICANIST DOWNSTEP
U+F19F	U+A71E	MODIFIER LETTER AFRICANIST UPSTEP

Doulos SIL 4.102 (official release)

This version supports Unicode 5.0!

Note

This font fixes a bug which was in version 4.100: In InDesign and XeTeX (and probably any other application which uses true small caps) the OpenType small cap feature will not work properly, nor will any application-specific fallback mechanism. This release fixes it so that the fallback mechanism will work. This is the only change in this release.

These fonts are identical to the main Doulos SIL fonts, except that the default forms for 'a' and 'g' have been changed to those often preferred by literacy specialists - single-story 'a' and single-bowl 'g'. Note the following:

OpenType and Graphite features may not work as expected, and particularly those that interact with the Literacy Alternates feature.
Diacritic placement may not be ideal in some cases, although we've tried to be sure that this works in most situations.
This font is a one-off special version, and is not likely to be updated alongside future versions of Doulos SIL.
This font is also released under the SIL Open Font License, but we strongly encourage you to use the main Doulos SIL release as the source for any derivative versions.

If you encounter problems, your best solution is to use the main Doulos SIL font release.
