ttf-sil-andika 0.001.desrev-5 (powerpc binary) in ubuntu hardy

 Andika ("Write!" in Swahili) is a sans serif, Unicode-compliant font
 designed especially for literacy use, taking into account the needs of
 beginning readers. The focus is on clear, easy-to-perceive letterforms that
 will not be easily confused with one another.
 .
 A sans serif font is preferred by some literacy personnel for teaching
 people to read. Its forms are simpler and less cluttered than some serif
 fonts can be. For years, literacy workers have had to make do with fonts
 that were available but not really suitable for beginning readers and
 writers. In some cases, literacy specialists have had to tediously cobble
 together letters from a variety of fonts in order to get the all of
 characters they need for their particular language project, resulting in
 confusing and unattractive publications. Andika addresses those issues.
 .
 The principal purpose of this Design Review release is to get feedback
 (http://scripts.sil.org/Andika_feedback) from the people who know literacy
 font needs best. Please make your insights and observations known to us.
 .
 This is work in progress but is it already very useful. The review period
 is now over but you may still get in touch with the upstream designers.
 See the FONTLOG for information on this and previous releases and for
 contributing to the project. Work on the final version of the font
 family is currently underway.
