1.1.1 Latin
The Latin alphabet, introduced about 700 AD by the Etruscans and derived from the Greek, comprises 26 basic letters with 21 consonants and 5 vowels. During all of
antiquity and well into the Middle Ages, only upper case letters (majuscles) were used. We can still see them in ancient inscriptions on churches, antique places of
interest etc. The Roman Capitalis Monumentalis represents the starting point for all European typefaces. The lower case characters (minuscles) were developed from
the upper case, but not until about 1000 years later during the time of the Carolingians. Further developments of the Latin script result from changes of it’s phonology
and from the Romance languages derived from it. Along with the introduction of new, additional letters, the development of writing systems requires further
improvements regarding readability, e.g. introduction of the word space, rules for punctuation and paragraphs etc. Also, the letter forms have been simplified again
and again over time. The evolution of letter forms is continuing all the time and never ends. Think about the invention of printing or typesetting. Calligraphy and
typography prove that writing systems are dynamic and under constant development.

1.3.1 Sample Text This is the new Nimbus Global Font family with four sans, two serif and one monospaced typeface styles in the following multi-lingual codepages: Standard Latin
West, Latin Extended (East), including Turkish and the Baltic Rim, Cyrillic (Russian, Belarusian, Bulgarian), Greek, Arabic + Farsi (Persian), Hebrew, Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Armenian, Georgian and many additional symbols and signs.
All Nimbus Global fonts are available as OpenType Pro fonts including the OTF Language Features necessary for the Arabic and Devanagari scripts.
2.1.1 Cyrillic
The Cyrillic and Latin scripts are very similar. This is because both are derived from Greek. In 863 AD, two monks, the brothers Konstantinos and Methodios, were
ordered by the emperor Michael to translate several ecclesiastical books from Greek to Slavic. For this purpose they first developed a new script better fitted to the
Slavic languages and tones. The first version of the new script contained 43 letters, 22 of which were taken directly from the Greek alphabet. Konstantinos’ monastic
name was Cyrillos, and the new script was named after him: Cyrilliza. The Russian Tsar Peter the Great (1672-1725) had the Cyrillic script simplified and redesigned
around 1700 to bring it closer to the design of the Latin script. In 1927, four letters were removed additionally to bring the number of basic letters down to 32 with 26
consonants and 6 vowels, both in upper and lower case.

4.1.1 ARMENIAN
The Armenian script is used almost exclusively in Armenia. It was created 406 AD by Mesrop Mastoc to provide the Armenian people access to religious texts,
hitherto only available in Greek or Syrian. The Armenian alphabet has 36 basic letters with 30 consonants and 6 vowels, each in upper and lower case.

1.1.1 hebrew
Hebrew is the official script of modern Israel. The ancient version of the Hebrew script, derived directly from the Phoenician script, was developed as early as the
9th century BC; its usage ceased when the Jews were displaced in the 6th century. Today’s version of the Hebrew script stems from Aramaic, which itself was
developed from the Phoenician. Aramaic was for well over a thousand years the dominant language in the Middle East stretching from Egypt all over through Asia
Minor to India. It was Arabic that repressed and eventually replaced Aramaic in the 7th century. Hebrew and Aramaic belong to the family of Semitic scripts. They
comprise It 22 consonants and diacritics for vocalization. Hebrew, like Arabic, is written from right to left.
2.1.1 ARABIC
The Arabic script was introduced in the 7th century AD und stems directly from the Aramaic script, which itself was derived from the Phoenician. In addition to its 29
basic letters, Arabic contains diacritics placed above or below the letters to indicate for different pronunciations. Arabic, like Hebrew, is written from right to left, and
many of its letters interconnect. The letter forms change depending on their position in a word (isolated, initial, medial, final). Short vowels are not written in Arabic.

3.1.1 Devanagari
India is not called a subcontinent without reason. It is a country with many different people (about 1.1 billion), states, languages and scripts. Since 1965, Hindi is the
official language. It is written in Devanagari by the Hindis and in Urdu by the Moslems (Arabic script with special characters). Devanagari is, alongside Latin, the most
important and dominant script in India. It’s typical characteristic is the top line, on which all characters seem to hang on. Bengali, Gurmukhi and Tibetan, three other
Indic scripts, are similar to Devanagari. All Indic scripts are syllabic, which means that a consonant, e.g. ‘r’, is read as ‘ra’. Since many syllables end on ‘a’, the vowel
is inherent and thus not written. If the syllable does not end on ‘a’, the vowel is written. To repress the inherent vowel, a special symbol called ‘Halant’ is used. The
rules for handling Indic scripts are extremely complex but fully integrated into our Nimbus Global Fonts. Devanagari comprises 54 basic letters with 37 consonants
and 17 vowels.

4.1.1 THAI
The Thai script is a member of the Indic family of scripts descended from Brahmi. To accommodate all sounds and special features of the Thai language, the original
Brahmi letter shapes were modified, and new characters were added. The Thai alphabet includes 64 basic characters, 46 consonants and 18 vowels. Thai is written
from left to right, like all other scripts derived from Brahmi.

IPA Extensions
This set of IPA mainly contains the symbols for the international phonetic alphabet. IPA was introduced in 1886 and has been the standard for writing the specific
language sounds ever since. This block covers the current revision from 1989.
2.1.1 PUNCTUATION
This block briefly introduces General Punctuation, Small Form Variants as well as CJK Symbols and Punctuation.
General Punctuation
Punctuations are generally not coded script or language dependent but carry a unique Unicode for each punctuation symbol. However, as always, there are exceptions
to the rule with some punctuation symbols which are indeed language dependent, e.g. the Armenian hyphen (U+058A) or the Arabic comma (U+060C).
The function of such punctuations is unique or they have different directionality, or are distinct in form or usage from their generic counterparts.
Letterlike symbols are symbols derived from ordinary letters of an alphabetic script. This block includes symbols based on Latin, Greek, and Hebrew letters. Stylistic
variations of single letters are used for semantics in mathematical notation.
The enclosed alphanumeric symbols in this block consist of single Latin letters, digits, or numbers—most enclosed by a circle. The block also contains letters, digits,
or numbers enclosed in parentheses, and a series of numbers followed by a full stop. All of these symbols are intended for use as numbered (or lettered) bullets in
ordered lists, and most are encoded for compatibility with major East Asian character sets.
The enclosed CJK letters and months contain large sets of circled or parenthesized Japanese Katakana, Hangul Jamo or CJK ideographs.
The CJK compatibility block consists entirely of square symbols encoded for compatibility with various East Asian character sets. These come in four sets: square
Latin abbreviations, Chinese telegraph symbols for hours and days, squared Katakana words and a small set of Japanese historical era names.
3.2.1 Letterlike Symbols | 0x2100 | 0x214F | 57
℀ ℁ ℂ ℃ ℄ ℅ ℆ ℇ ℈ ℉ℊ ℋ ℌ ℍ ℎ ℏ ℐ ℑ ℒℓ ℔ ℕ № ℗ ℘ ℙ ℚ ℛ ℜ ℝ ℞ ℟ ℠ ℡™ ℣ ℤ ℥ Ω ℧ ℨ ℩ K Å ℬ ℭ ℮ ℯ ℰ ℱℲ ℳ ℴ ℵ ℶ ℷ ℸ ⅀ ⅈ
Currency symbols are usually designed individually, and, accordingly, they may vary in shape from font to font. In some cases particular currency symbols are used for
more than one currency, while at the same time, not every currency has its own individual symbol. Therefore, Unicode recommends applying other standards such as
ISO 4217 with three-letter currency codes, e.g. USD for U.S. dollar, in all implementations requiring exact identification of the currency.
In addition, this block contains a very heterogeneous series of dingbats and symbols that do not fit in any other Unicode block. The symbols are for the most part '
pictographic and are often used for the decoration of text. However, they can also be used as regular characters in applications such as chess books, game
card manuals or horoscopes.
Halftwidth and Fullwidth Forms
These forms are needed with East Asian coding systems where a 2-byte-set such as JIS is combined with a 1-byte character set such as ASCII in texts. The
Halfwidth forms are also known as hankaku, the Fullwidth forms zenkaku.
10.1.1 Specials
This block contains 65 code points for compatibility with the C0 and C1 control codes defined in the ISO/IEC 2022 standard.
The individual styles of the Nimbus Global family contain the following number of glyphs:
Currently, Nimbus Sans Global regular is the most comprehensive style with 65337 glyphs. This font weight contains about 27,000 CJK (China, Japan, Korea)
unified-design Kanjis (= Japanese term for ‘Chinese character’) as well as the required variants for Japan (8,500) and Hong Kong (1,500). Moreover, all four styles
of Nimbus Sans Global contain the Indic Devanagari script which is used to write Hindi, the predominant language in India. Some of the scripts in the Nimbus Global
Fonts such as Arabic, Devanagari or CJK require so-called language features for their correct usage. For example, Arabic has four variants per character because the
form of each letter changes with its position within a word (isolated, initial, medial, final). Devanagari is even more complex with chains of up to 10 characters changing
not only form but also position when set. In Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, modified versions of the Kanjis with slight changes of strokes and positions
developed over time. These are included in our Global Fonts as ‘stylistic alternates’ (OpenType feature).
The comprehensiveness and complexity of the URW++ Nimbus Global Fonts require a high level of know-how and competence regarding font design, font production
and font programming. Since 2004, the URW++ Global Font team, a group of international font experts, has developed and produced seven (7) global fonts for the
highest professional requirements, and by doing so URW++ has established itself as a global font player.
The design of Nimbus Sans Global is based on Nimbus Sans, a linear sans serif or grotesque (Grotesk in Germany). It is a clear, timeless and universally useable
typeface with no unnecessary embellishments, perfectly suited for use in technical products of all kinds and in embedded devices. Because of its outstanding
characteristics and neutrality, it is also very suitable for IdentiType (corporate type). In similar fashion, the design of Nimbus Roman Global is based on Nimbus Roman.
Nimbus Roman, a transitional serif design that does not need much space, is likewise timelessly beautiful. It can be perfectly applied in combination with Nimbus Sans
Global as well as on its own.
Nimbus Sans Global Mono is derived from Nimbus Sans. All proportional glyphs, i.e. glyphs with individual character widths, have been redesigned as monospaced
glyphs, i.e. characters all with the same width. Nimbus Sans Mono is perfectly suited for all products and applications requiring monospaced fonts, but still wanting to
meet professional typographic standards. By the way, CJK Kanjis as well as Korean Hangul are always created and used with uniform fixed widths (= monospaced).
The Nimbus Global font family is a perfect typographic instrument for all applications and products that demand multilingual, high quality typography. Please note that
also existing IdentiType (corporate type) fonts can be combined with our Global Fonts; of course, after weight and style adjustments where necessary.

4.1.1 Country-Script-Index
The Country Script Index is an overview of all languages and scripts sorted by country name. We created this table for product planning purposes primarily since at the beginning of a new project,
planners define the countries or areas in which a new product shall be marketed. Some countries have two or more languages or several scripts. The index also informs about the corresponding
Unicode ranges and includes information if special characters are used in a country, e.g. ‘ß’ for Germany.
