About the Symbols writing system
The symbols subset extends the typeface with pictographic symbols, currency marks, and the non-letter glyphs that show up in everyday typography. Coverage here is a sign that the designer has thought past the basic Latin alphabet and into the realistic glyph requirements of contemporary text.
The catalog above lists every open-source typeface in the TypeCraft directory that ships the Symbols subset in its font files. The full list runs to 72 families, sorted by catalog popularity. Every entry links to a complete font detail page with weight specimens, designer credit, license, full subset coverage, and copy-paste CSS embed code.
If you are designing for a project that needs Symbols support, this is the right entry point into the catalog — but the work does not end here. Set the typeface in your real copy at your real reading sizes before you commit, and check that the typeface's Symbols design has the same care and craft as its Latin counterpart. The two designs are usually drawn separately, and the quality of one is not always a guarantee of the quality of the other.
