Eine Teilmenge der Sylfaen-Schriftart, die nur die lateinischen, armenischen und georgischen Glyphen enthält, wird seit Windows 2000 standardmäßig mit Windows mitgeliefert. Die äthiopischen Glyphen wurden später überarbeitet und sind seit Windows Vista unter dem neuen Namen verfügbar. (de)

The project included support for Latin, IPA, Cyrillic, Greek, Armenian, Georgian, and Ge'ez (Ethiopian) characters. Latin glyphs were designed by John Hudson, and the first script developed for Sylfaen. Cyrillic glyphs were designed by John Hudson. The design was reviewed by Maxim Zhukov, typographic coordinator for the United Nations. Greek glyphs were designed by Geraldine Wade, based on the Latin glyphs, with consultation from Gerry Leonidas. Only the glyphs used in monotonic orthography are available. Armenian glyphs were designed by Geraldine Wade, under the guidance of Armenian type designer Manvel Shmavonyan, and his Russian colleague Vladimir Yefimov at in Moscow. It includes 'classical caps', which are based on the tall capitals in Armenian manuscript. Georgian glyphs include khutsuri and mkhedruli letters. The development of the Georgian script came to a halt when Georgian type designer Anton Dumbadze was fatally struck by a car before being able to finish the design. As a result the font is incomplete. Ethiopic glyphs were designed by Geraldine Wade. The font shipped with Windows 2000 and XP only include a subset of the original designs. In particular, IPA, Polytonic Greek, Ethiopic glyphs are missing. It supports WGL4, Armenian script, and the minuscules of the Georgian alphabet. OpenType features include small caps, glyph substitution. (en)
