# Fonts that support Turkish

> Open-license families that contain every letter of the Turkish alphabet, including dotted and dotless i, across text, display and script styles.

The Turkish alphabet has 29 letters, six of which do not exist in English. Five carry marks: c and s with a cedilla, g with a breve, o and u with a diaeresis. The sixth is the reason Turkish needs special attention from fonts and software alike. Turkish has two separate letters where English has one: a dotted i, whose capital also keeps its dot, and a dotless one, whose lowercase has none.

A font supports Turkish only if all of these are present, and many decorative and older fonts miss the dotted capital I, the dotless lowercase or the g with breve. The result is the familiar sight of a Turkish headline with one letter in a different typeface. Every family in this collection has the complete set according to its record.

Beyond presence, check three things. The cedilla should be attached cleanly under c and s, not a detached comma. The breve on g should not collide with the line above in tightly set capitals. And ligatures deserve a test: a font that joins f and i into one shape can swallow the dot that distinguishes the two Turkish letters, so good fonts disable that ligature for Turkish text when the language is declared.

How these were chosen: Families whose records list Turkish among the languages with all required letters, picked from different classes so that each kind of job has a candidate.

## FAQs

### Which letters must a font have for Turkish?

Besides the basic Latin letters: c and s with cedilla, g with breve, o and u with diaeresis, the dotless lowercase i and the capital I with a dot, each in capital and lowercase form.

### Why does the dot disappear on i after f in Turkish text?

The font is applying an fi ligature, and its joined shape hides the dot. Mark the text as Turkish (lang="tr" in HTML): fonts with a Turkish rule in their OpenType locl feature then leave the two letters apart. If the font has no such rule, turn the ligature off, for example with font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures.

### How do I get correct capital I when transforming text to uppercase?

Declare the language. With lang="tr", CSS text-transform and most software convert i to a dotted capital and the dotless letter to plain I; without it, i becomes an undotted I, which is a different Turkish letter.

### Are these fonts free for commercial use?

Yes. All of them are under the SIL Open Font License, which permits commercial use, embedding and modification.
