[OpenIndiana-discuss] Which font package for the Cherokee language?

[Richard L. Hamilton]

I don't know any magic "pkg" command that would answer that, but there are free (and not free) Cherokee fonts out there, you just have to figure out how to install them. Presumably with the usual X11 stuff (put it in the right directory and then run mkfontscale . and mkfontdir . in that directory) plus the fontconfig stuff for client side font use, plus maybe something else for GNOME. There might even be a font installer tool, such things have existed in the past or in other OS distributions.

Code 2000 includes practically everything, including that. Google's Noto Sans Cherokee should also be free. More links on the page below, not all are free. I have no idea which are best, either visually or in terms of correct Unicode assignment and completeness.
