JGaramond (Jan Thor)

JGaramond by Jan Thor.

»I was mostly interested in a font that supports special latin characters and mathematical symbols. Since I am not a type designer, jGaramond contains some badly designed glyphs, a few of them being really ugly. Some glyphs are badly hinted. Some glyphs have no hints at all. The Unicode support is only provided for the regular version: the italic or the bold version may not contain letters that are contained within the regular version. There is no bold italic version. There is no thin or extra bold version.
On the other hand, jGaramond (regular) contains characters for the following code pages:

Basic Latins
Latin-1 Supplement
Latin Extended - A
Latin Extended - B
Latin Extended Additional
Mathematical Operators
Letterlike Symbols
Currency Symbols
Arrows
Number Forms
IPA Extensions
Spacing Modifier Letters
Combining Diacritical Marks
Greek
Greek Extended

Important Note: I consider the font jGaramond to be deprecated. I will no longer maintain or update this font, and I think it’s use is no longer needed, given the vastly improved support for Unicode.

If you want to use a Garamond font that comes for free, I recommend using the Garamond that ships with recent versions of the Microsoft OS. If you want a font with support for a wide range of characters, I recommend Arial Unicode. And if you need a good-looking Garamond type, I recommend you to purchase Adobe Garamond Pro. Although it’s not free, it is a really great looking font with a lot of neat stuff, like true small caps and old style figures.«
