Does anybody know, which fonts support Turkish characters without a problem? Sans or Serif doesn't matter.

Example: İ Ü Ç Ğ Ö...

  • most fonts fonts from google fonts support utf-8. If you go to https://www.google.com/fonts and change the sample phrase to something with those latin characters you will see the font sets support them. You may have an encoding problem with your page – samuel.molinski Mar 12 '14 at 16:03

    Yes but majority goes all funny when using block capitals :/ – Abdul Sadik Yalcin Mar 12 '14 at 16:06
  • Hmmm, what OS and browser are you using? do you have a link that I can test. i am almost sure the problem is not the fonts, I work with Google fonts on a number of international projects here. almost all my "font" problems were encoding. – samuel.molinski Mar 12 '14 at 16:12
  • Windows 7, Firefox, http://ythaber.com/. – Abdul Sadik Yalcin Mar 12 '14 at 16:14
  • Ah yeah those font suck :D Sorry for my ignorance, what langauge is this? have you tried "Ubuntu Mono" – samuel.molinski Mar 12 '14 at 16:24
  • No worries. It's Turkish. Ubuntu and some other fonts are displaying fine at Google Fonts. I'm trying it now on my website. Will add my own answer with a lot of typefaces if they display fine. – Abdul Sadik Yalcin Mar 12 '14 at 16:27
  • Update: Same issue with Duru and Ubuntu. 'İ' and 'Ğ' are the weird ones. – Abdul Sadik Yalcin Mar 12 '14 at 16:30

    Ok buddy I think I found what you need, check this site: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/list/language/turkish – samuel.molinski Mar 12 '14 at 16:39
  • http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aller looks good – samuel.molinski Mar 12 '14 at 16:41

    I would rephrase the question; you are probably looking for a font that supports all characters used in Turkish. Calling them UTF-8 characters is correct, but not very helpful. All common characters in all written languages in the world are also UTF-8 characters; UTF-8 is a character encoding standard that includes basically everything. – JeroenHoek Mar 12 '14 at 16:42
  • You are right Jeroen. I edited my question. @samuel wonderful! Exactly what I needed. – Abdul Sadik Yalcin Mar 12 '14 at 16:51
  • Yeah JeroenHoek, when I read the question, it was easy to see there was more to this problem then a simple font issue. Now we have it narrowed down to a "font supporting Turkish" problem. – samuel.molinski Mar 12 '14 at 16:52

    I can add the link as a separate response so you can mark it as correct ;) – samuel.molinski Mar 12 '14 at 16:53
  • Go for it :) However, still having issues with İ and Ğ in capitals :( Just ended it up editing my css -_- :D – Abdul Sadik Yalcin Mar 12 '14 at 16:55

Actually google fonts comes with latin ext support you just have to add

&subset=latin,latin-ext

at end of defination of your font. 

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans&subset=latin,latin-ext' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Yes, im turkish too :)

  • I'm not sure if this is the way I've been doing it but does the fonts display properly in capitals this way? (Note: See the difference between Ö and the rest on the attachment) – Abdul Sadik Yalcin Jan 16 '15 at 19:26
  • You can try byyourself too, we are using google fonts at most of our project, so far no issues, Öö Çç Ğğ and even İı no issues. – Hasan Veli Soyalan Jan 23 '15 at 16:59

    I must add, this is the best solution for google web fonts Turkish Char problem with something lacking: **IF** the font supports Turkish characters in google web fonts page then extending the url with `&subset=latin,latin-ext` will make the Turkish characters formatted correctly. So, what I always do with google web fonts is that I test the fonts by using my own text which is: **`gğ GĞ cç CÇ sş SŞ ıI iİ oö OÖ uü UÜ`** and then when using it in my projects extend the URL with `&subset=latin,latin-ext` – wooer May 02 '15 at 17:13

If you want to download the font files, use the google webfonts helper below. Make sure to check that the latin-ext subset of the font that you want to download exists there
