UCAS Font Tests

To use these tests, you must have Javascript enabled. Results may not be accurate for all browsers. If you use one of the listed fonts as your sans-serif default, the test will claim you don’t have it. This is OK and is not an error.

Known issues: The test may give “false positives” for Iceweasel and some versions of Firefox for Linux. If it claims you have a long string of fonts you don’t believe you have, try changing your browser’s default to any sans-serif font and test again.

this group of unicode fonts:

AiPaiNutaaq
Ballymun (RO)
Code2000
DejaVu Sans
Euphemia (UCAS)
NunacomU
Pigiarniq
Uqammaq

Code2000 and DejaVu Sans are not UCAS fonts as such, but both include the main UCAS characters. Letters in parentheses may or may not be part of the font name, depending on your platform; the program tests both ways.

In this list, only Pigiarniq and Uqammaq include the inuksuk character. Only Ballymun and Euphemia—and Code2000 and DejaVu Sans—include the “Aivilik b”.

But what about Greek?

Sorry. It would have been useful to have a test for fonts that include polytonic Greek, but there are just too darn many of them. On one hand there are fonts that have been around for decades, changing periodically, so you have no idea what “Times” or “Palatino” really means. On the other hand are fonts whose everyday name is different from the official name of its file. So you’d have to find exactly the right variant of “Courier”, and then match it up to the one used by your particular operating system.
