Vollkorn font aletrantive for UTF8

Theblankstare

I need webfonts that will approach google's Vollkorn as much as possible and will support UTF8 characters like "č š ž"

Thanks

It’s an open source font, so you have three options:

  • If you know how to do it, add the accented letters yourself
  • Commission the type designer (Friedrich Althausen) to add the letters for you
  • Commission anybody who knows how to do it to add the letters for you

Hope this helps!

Quick & dirty edited Vollkorn:

original:

I believe the original Vollkorn was hand-hinted by Yanone. But just adding some accented letters shouldn’t make it necessary to re-hint the font.

Commission anybody who knows how to do it to add the letters for you

If you go this route there are many people here who can do it for you, including yours truly*. You will need a -modest- budget however.
