Gentium versions: Smallcaps and Sans serif
I have taken it upon myself to design a smallcaps version of the OFL licensed Gentium font.
For copyright reasons, it is called GsmCaps for now.
I also made a semi-sans serif version of Gentium, called GsemiSans.
Both were really learning processes for me, and I plan to use them for an upcoming project. I may submit them to SIL, I don't know yet.
Thanks for any comments and critisisms; I am a complete beginner, with no formal training. But I just love typography!

(Tell me if the PDFs don't work for you, and I know one of the fonts is not serif, but I had to pick a forum.)

I think the pdf doesn't work. they both contain one page. On the upper part there are a few letters randomly spread.

Very nice. If you decide to let the public have access please let me know. Thanks.

Your work looks fantastic so far. How is this coming along? It's certainly worth completing.

Unfortunately, I believe I have lost the original semi sans font. The pdf is all that remains. I don't know if anything can be done with the pdf but I will keep looking for the original.
A copy of the smallcaps font is available, probably with some bad kerning errors.

If there is a pdf available the fonts can be extracted. You'll need to redo the kerning though.
Here I go reviving a thread, but if it helps . . .

If you know how to do it, have at it.
I've lost all of the files at this point, I believe.

There are 41 glyphs in GsemiSans.pdf (only a subset of your font). Let me know if you want to restore them. (I believe the font is Open and I can do it)
