Sant Lipi

A unicode font for extraordinary Gurmukhi.

Sant Lipi is a variable font with the purpose of fully expressing the unique characters and combos found in the database at Shabad OS.

Please see Sant Lipi's GitHub repo to learn more.

Installation

npm install sant-lipi

Usage

Import it in your app entry file or component.

import 'sant-lipi'

Reference the font name in a stylesheet, css-in-js, etc.

font-family: 'Sant Lipi';

Note: Only use numerals to define the weight (avoid using 'lighter', 'normal', or 'bold'). The font weight varies from 100 to 900.

Note: All modern browsers support variable fonts. Instanced fonts are not bundled for fallback in this package. See "Can I use variable fonts?" for browser support.

Note: If you require legacy browser support, then please avoid using this package. See the web.dev article on variable fonts for more help with legacy browsers. You can find the interpolated files in the Sant Lipi repo.
