Sinhala Font Preview, Comparison & Unicode Glyph Tester

Compare Noto Sans Sinhala, Abhaya Libre and Gemunu Libre on your device, test Sinhala Unicode joins and vowel signs, and find official font downloads.

Compare Sinhala Unicode fonts using text that matters to you. Three licensed font families are served by this site and loaded by your browser. If any file fails, fallback text is clearly labeled.

Each family includes real 400 and 700 Sinhala font files; 500 and 800 can be approximated by the browser.

This is a visual shaping test, not an automatic missing-glyph detector. Browser fallback, operating-system shaping and installed versions can change what you see.

Optional .ttf, .otf or .woff2 (up to 2 MB). The file stays in your browser; its family name and license are not verified.

Never install a font from an untrusted source.

Download and install Sinhala Unicode fonts

Windows 10 / 11

Download the official .ttf or .otf, then right-click the file and select Install; manage it under Settings → Personalization → Fonts. Refresh this page afterwards.

macOS

Open the downloaded font in Font Book and choose Install after validation. Reload this page to check it.

Android

There is no universal system-wide font installer. Some apps or device manufacturers support font selection; follow their own instructions. You can preview a local font file here without installing it.

Unicode or FM legacy?

Noto Sans Sinhala, Abhaya Libre and Gemunu Libre are Unicode fonts. Older FM-encoded fonts are not equivalent: applying a Unicode font to legacy-encoded text does not convert the text.

Frequently asked questions

Why do two fonts look identical?

A font may be missing or blocked, and the browser may draw both with the same fallback. Check the availability message or choose a file locally.

Does this tool prove all glyphs are supported?

No. Complex Sinhala conjuncts and vowel signs must be inspected visually in your browser and target app. No automatic coverage percentage is claimed.

Preview and font-file handling happen locally. No fonts, typed text, external font CDN requests or analytics are sent by this tool. Official external links open only when selected.

Check the stated data sources and assumptions before relying on a result.
