Shimenkan

The Shimenkan family of fonts supports the broad variety of writing systems 
that use the Miao (Pollard) script. Eight language-specific font families are 
part of the project, each reflecting the particular preferences of that 
language community.

- Salaowu - for Wuding-Luquan Yi / Hei Yi / Nasu [ywqa]
- Sapushan - for Large Flowery Miao / Dahua Miao / A-Hmao [hmd]
- Shimenkan Guifan - alternate for Large Flowery Miao using the Normalised Miao 
orthography [hmdd]
- Shimenkan GSM - for Gepo / Bai Yi [ygp]
- Shimenkan MAS - for Small Flowery Miao / Xiaohua Miao [sfm]
- Shimenkan MGS - for Sinicized Miao / Waishu Miao / Hmong Shua [hmz] 
- Shimenkan Zonghe - for Aluo / Gan Yi [yna]
- Taogu - for Lipo / Dong Lisu [lpo]

The Latin glyphs are based on the OFL-licensed Source Sans Pro fonts 
(https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-sans-pro). The Miao glyphs are designed 
to harmonize with the Latin, but remain true to the unique characteristics of 
Miao writing systems. The project is inspired by, but not based on, the Miao 
Unicode project (https://github.com/phjamr/MiaoUnicode).
