Solantro takes into consideration how scripts are in fact composed so that connections from letter to letter are more fluid and balanced than the typical script font style. In natural script/handwriting most letters end at the bottom right and move up to link with the next. Some letters like o, v, and w, nevertheless; end on top right. Rather than require these letters to dip down and return up they should ideally connect from that upper best point. This is achieved through a series of alternate letters and ligatures with comprehensive contextual feature shows. So, for example, you might get one variation of a ligature in the middle of a word and a various one at the beginning or end of that word. Solantra likewise considers another typically neglected function of natural handwriting. When you write you inevitably select your pen up from the paper sometimes. This is frequently just to rearrange the hand, however in the days of writing with dip pens this was also required to obtain a fresh supply of ink. Having these periodic breaks in connections makes the composing less static and more rhythmic.
While the Basic versions are limited to a basic character set and numerous ligatures and alternates for much better settings of text, the full professional versions includes 1292 glyphs and an abundance of features. Even with numbers there are options like Oldstyle numbers, fractions, and ordinals. Central European language support is included along with some select ligatures that use accents.
