What is Graphite (SIL)?

Graphite is a "smart font" system developed specifically to handle the complexities of lesser-known languages of the world.

Graphite is a package that can be used to create “smart fonts” capable of displaying writing systems with various complex behaviors. A smart font contains not only letter shapes but also additional instructions indicating how to combine and position the letters in complex ways.
