About

Gentium Book Plus is a font package, not an application. The Homebrew cask installs four font files in the current user’s ~/Library/Fonts directory:

  • Regular
  • Italic
  • Bold
  • Bold Italic

Install it with brew install --cask font-gentium-book-plus. To use the font, select Gentium Book Plus in a compatible application that offers font selection. The installed files are specific to the four styles listed above; this package does not install additional styles. The available package information does not establish Unicode coverage or ligature support.
