Cedilla

Cedilla program is a powerful text printer that utilizes Unicode internally, which offers a significantly broad range of character sets that can appear in the input. This feature is highly advantageous to the user as they may face limitations due to the unavailability of fonts containing specific glyphs. Cedilla program overcomes this challenge by diligently finding or creating suitable glyphs that serve the purpose.

For instance, when trying to typeset letters like Polish e with ogonek « ę », Cedilla searches for a suitable precomposed glyph. However, if that option fails, Cedilla locates an ogonek « ˛ » and overstrikes a plain « e ». In the event the current font being used doesn't have an ogonek, Cedilla will use a comma, resulting in an unpleasant but legible rendition of the Polish language.

Cedilla software offers full support for several languages, including every European language that uses the Latin script except Sami and Vietnamese. The software also supports rendering mono- and polytonic Greek, albeit with a slightly distorted appearance, using the Symbol font. When using the free « Nimbus-Mono » font, Cedilla renders languages as mentioned earlier plus modern Russian orthography, Ukrainian, and Belarusian. Finally, using the free « OmegaSerif » fonts, the program supports all European languages that use the Latin script, Vietnamese, modern and pre-Revolutionary Russian, modern and archaic Ruthenian (Ukrainian, Belarusian), as well as mono- and polytonic Greek.

In conclusion, the Cedilla program is a remarkably versatile and powerful text printer that ensures the text output is legible, regardless of font limitations. Its ability to find or create suitable glyphs is a significant advantage to the user, and its language support is nothing short of impressive. Therefore, it comes highly recommended for users who need to print text in a diverse range of languages.
