For pure Assamese literary work, Rohini is the best. For Microsoft Office documents shared with non-Assamese speakers, Nirmala UI is a safe fallback. Part 9: Advanced Usage – Web and Design Using Rohini on Websites To ensure your Assamese website uses Rohini, add this CSS:
@font-face font-family: 'Rohini'; src: url('path-to-your-font/Rohini.woff2') format('woff2'), url('path-to-your-font/Rohini.ttf') format('truetype'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;
Search for "SMC Rohini font releases" on GitHub or visit the official SMC project page.
body font-family: 'Rohini', 'Nirmala UI', 'Noto Sans Bengali', sans-serif;
Introduction In the digital age, the preservation and propagation of regional languages depend heavily on accessible and standardized typefaces. For the Assamese language—spoken by over 15 million people in Assam and across the globe—the Assamese Rohini font stands as a landmark development. Before Rohini, Assamese typography on computers was a chaotic landscape of incompatible, non-standard fonts that made document sharing and web browsing a nightmare.
