Mandala is a Pāli word meaning “Circle.” This geometric Sans-serif font is ideal for display text and headings. There are now four type styles — regular, italic, bold, and bold italic. There is now a character set for Basic Greek. A wide range of Latin Extended characters is included to support most European languages and Vietnamese. Arrows, maths symbols, general punctuation, miscellaneous symbols, dingbats, and ligatures are included.
This updated version 1.60 of Mandala has a full set of symbols and dingbats, and Currency Symbols for Unicode 7.0 and many OpenType Features. Kerning pairs were updated with FontCreator 8.0. Because many glyphs have straight sides, there are not as many kerning pairs as other fonts.
Version 2.10 adds fij and ij acute ligatures, localised forms for Romanian, smaller accents for Petite Capitals (using FontCreator 10.1 complete composites), improves kerning classes and adds a few more kerning pairs (now nearly 7K).
Mandala Version 2.20 removed code-points from the Private Use Area, removed Latin Extended superscripts, recalculated metrics (this affects copy-fit, so documents will need reformatting), added miscellaneous arrows, supplemental punctuation, miscellaneous pictographs and symbols, transport and map symbols, and added E, e, O, o ogonek acute in the Private Use Area. Colour glyphs were added for transport and map symbols: dartboard, info source, pagoda, no-smoking, no-cycling, no-pedestrians, no-entry, and prohibited. Dartboard uses figures from Mandala. Improved fractions feature to include lowercase a-z. Localised forms for Romanian and Velthuis encoding were replaced with stylistic sets. Subtables were added for kerning lookup. Added Coloured Stylistic Alternates for Decorative Drop Capitals. Used anchor based glyph composition for better positing of accents. Advance width for figures and maths/currency symbols were harmonised. Hinting was added for WOFF versions. Widths of super/subscript figures were harmonised. Added capital spacing feature at 5% of advance width. Added Access All Alternates feature. Added many more kerning pairs for lowercase and lowercase to Uppercase.
