Computer fonts are digital art. This page attempts to present a gallery of this art. Some of this art is free to use without restriction, some require purchase, and others may be used freely for non-commerical purposes.

Fonts will contain different numbers of letters and other symbols. When selecting a font, it can be helpful to know which languages are supported by it. The tables here present some useful statistics on the coverage of the fonts with respect to the Unicode Standard, which in turn includes the past and presently used letters. Coverage is alo indicated for only the presently used letters of the “Modern Geʾez” syllabary.

A more detailed table presents the coverage by Unicode "blocks".
