“sitelen pona” is a script for toki pona.
The hieroglyphs were created by Sonja Lang, the creator of toki pona.
They appear in Toki Pona: The Language of Good.

I have created a font called “linja pona”, it means “simple line”.
With linja pona, I wanted to create a standard font that was simple and that could be read easily at different sizes.

The font as forked into two versions :
Version 4.9 which uses dynamically generated compound glyphs
and version 3.6 which uses precomposed compound glyphs.

Version 4.9

This version of the font was created by David A Roberts and expanded on by jan Same
Version 5 is in the works with all the nimi pi ku lili.
In the meantime here is version 4.9 :
This version, like version 4.2, uses OpenType features to dynamically compose compound glyphs.
4.9 includes the nimi pi ku suli and a few new alternate glyphs for punctuation marks, n and a.
This version also fixes a few issues with the compound glyphs from version 4.2.

Version 4.2

This version of the font was created by David A Roberts.
Every version of linja pona starting from version 4 uses OpenType features to dynamically compose compound glyphs, rather than relying on including precomposed glyphs in the font.
As a result, it allows over 6,000 new compound glyphs (screenshot) to be used.
It also has better webfont support.

Usage

To use compound glyphs, put a hyphen or a plus sign between two words:

To use a cartouche, use square brackets and underscores before each glyph:

To use a long pi, put a hyphen or a plus sign after a pi :

The more hyphens or plus signs you input, the longer the pi will be.
The maximum length is 3 hyphens or plus signs.
