Whenever a new currency symbol gets registered, Unicode is assigned to this. So people can use it in their application. But they need to update their application so that their applications can support new unicodes. Some people and organizations are supposed to use old version of applications due to licensing issue. Or because, updating to new version of application may need update in many existing resources.

On the other hand, using an open source font in your application is not only easy but it’ll require no changes or update in existing resources. In addition, it’ll minimize the effort too.

Best feature of this font is OPEN SOURCE (under GPL). You are free to use it in personal or corporate applications.

Why to use Amty Currency Font instead of Images?
Many of the website designers start using images to display currency symbol at their site. Amty Currency Font is a good replacement of this.

• If you are aware with SEO concepts, there is an extra http request is required for each image on the page (single request for repeating images).
• Size of the images is always greater than fonts.
• You can display fonts in any size, any color with any background color.
• You can use them to generate complex CAPTCHA images.
