The Lingua Franca OpenType and Web Open fonts are a modified version of the Heuristica font family, which in turn is based on the Utopia Type 1 fonts, designed by Robert Slimbach for Adobe and licensed to the TeX Users Group (TUG) for free modification and redistribution. The Lingua Franca fonts are particularly useful for documents in linguistics. The regular typeface includes all characters of the Unicode IPA extensions as well as many spacing or combining diacritics. In addition, the typefaces support various typographic features such as ligatures, proportional figures etc.; a stylistic set provides longer slashes, matching the parentheses in height and depth.
