Default Font

The default APL font for the site is SImPL medium or APL385 Unicode.

If the APL characters in the articles don't display correctly, you can obtain a copy of the SImPL medium font by downloading the current NARS2000 binary, or the APL385 Unicode font from here.

If they still don't display correctly, download FireFox.

Extra APL Glyphs

While any Unicode APL font will display all of the standard APL glyphs, NARS2000 uses (or has plans to use) some extra glyphs not found in all Unicode APL fonts such as

Name Symbol Unicode
Code Point
Keystroke Description
Infinity 0x221E Alt-f Infinity
Dieresis-downtack 0x2361 Alt-N Convolution operator†
Dieresis-del 0x2362 Alt-G Dual operator†
Dieresis-star 0x2363 Alt-P Power operator†
Dieresis-jot 0x2364 Alt-J Rank operator
Dieresis-tilde 0x2368 Alt-T Commute operator
Zilde 0x236C Alt-} Empty simple numeric vector
Stile-tilde 0x236D Alt-M Partition operator†

† = Not currently implemented.

All of the above glyphs may be found in SImPL medium and in APL385 Unicode.
