Alkatra font: common questions
Is the Alkatra font free to use?
Yes. Alkatra is released under the SIL Open Font License, which lets you use it free of charge in personal and commercial work - documents, print, logos, websites and apps. The only thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own.
Is Alkatra a Unicode font?
Yes. Alkatra is a Unicode font: it covers 84 Bengali characters at their standard code points, so Bengali text typed anywhere - including our online editor - displays correctly in it.
What is Alkatra called in Word and other apps?
After installing it, look for "Alkatra" in the font menu of Word, LibreOffice, Photoshop or any other app that uses your computer's fonts. Web apps such as Google Docs cannot see fonts installed on your computer. That is the name stored inside the font file, and it can differ slightly from the name on this page.
How do I install Alkatra?
Download the TrueType file from this page. On Windows, right-click it and choose "Install". On a Mac, double-click it and click "Install Font" in Font Book. Restart any app that was already open and Alkatra will appear in its font list.
