Is there some version of Century Gothic that supports Georgian?
I would like to purchase it if there is. I wasn't able to find one on MyFonts.com

Hi Vasil,I don’t know whether there is such a version. At the risk of telling you something you already know, Century Gothic is a version of Twentieth Century (Lanston Monotype’s copy of Futura), redrawn to match the widths of ITC Avant Garde Gothic.In that light, you might want to pick a different geometric sans with support for Georgian, and either harmonize that with Century Gothic in terms of size etc., or switch to that different geometric sans altogether.I was curious to see if there’s maybe a Georgian version of ITC Avant Garde Gothic, but either Monotype’s filter is broken, or they offer zero fonts with support for Georgian. At least I get no results when filtering for Georgian. I’d expect to find at least Avenir Next Georgian.Fontstand works much better in this regard: their filter returns Ping as a geometric sans with support for Georgian. Side note: Google Fonts and MyFonts offer language filters, too, but neither includes Georgian at the time of writing.Both Ping Georgian and Avenir Next Georgian were made with local designer Akaki Razmadze.

Google Fonts' Georgian fonts are currently limited to those within the Noto collection:

Paratype has ITC Avant Garde Gothic as well as Futura PT which support Georgian.

Do they really?? I see no Futura or Avant Garde in their list:George Thomas said:Paratype has ITC Avant Garde Gothic as well as Futura PT which support Georgian.

And here is the page for Futura:
Is it available only on request?0 -
When I viewed it, everything was as it should be. Did you try the link I posted for Avant Garde?I would write them and ask about those fonts because they showed to be available.0

Wrote them almost immediately, still no answer. @George Thomas could you please show me a screencap of how you see it on your device?0

Yes, but further looking into them, they don't support Georgian as I first thought.

Consider Typotheque’s Ping, which has a nice Georgian design in a wide range of weights by Akaki Razmadze. Also has the benefit of not supporting a Russian company whose CEO has publicly supported the invasion of Ukraine.
