"Gentium was driven by the need for a free, attractive, legible,
high-quality font for extended Latin (and Greek and Cyrillic) use.
Nothing else was available that was suitable for publishing use, so I
decided to give it a try." (from: [interview with Victor
Gaultney](http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Gentium_interview),
designer of Gentium)
