Description Gerard Meijssen 2011-10-17 08:01:57 UTC

Note: You must be using Cherokee Unicode Supported Fonts to view this site. Information on obtaining and installing Cherokee Unicode Fonts for Windows 2000 and Windows XP is available on the Cherokee Unicode page. Mac OS X from version 10.3 (Panther), Windows Vista, 7 and the GNU/Linux Operating System include default support for displaying the Cherokee Language in syllabary.

So have it in WebFonts

(In reply to comment #1)
> Which site?
chr.wikipedia.org

Comment 3 Santhosh Thottingal 2011-10-18 04:57:19 UTC

Need more info. We need specific information on which font need to be added.
http://chr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unicode lists many fonts, but we are not sure what the community prefers. Of course , it needs to be a free licensed font. 

Christopher Harvey's Aboriginal Sans or Serif fonts are GPLed, but may not be optimal for webfont since it is not for Cherokee alone(contains many other scripts).

Comment 4 Siebrand Mazeland 2011-10-27 07:34:57 UTC

Please provide direct links to the fonts and their licenses that you are proposing to be added to WebFonts.

Comment 5 Gerard Meijssen 2011-10-27 12:51:30 UTC

Information on fonts for Cherokee can be found here: http://chr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unicode the top most fonts are referred to at http://www.unifont.org/fontguide/ they are GPL licensed.. http://www.languagegeek.com/misc/license/gnu.html .
Thanks,

Comment 6 Santhosh Thottingal 2013-01-09 14:43:44 UTC

Need more information(Font, upstream , license information) to act on this bug.

Comment 7 Kartik Mistry 2013-07-11 08:39:00 UTC

Yes. http://www.languagegeek.com/font/fontdownload.html#Cherokee isn't GPL if we look into font file. It seems having proprietary license attached with it.

Comment 8 Amir E. Aharoni 2013-07-11 08:47:02 UTC

It's possible to extract the Cherokee block from FreeSans, similarly to what was done with Divehi.
