The lowercase ‘a’ in the General Sans fonts is double-storey, while the ‘g’ is single-storey. For example, the ‘G’ does not have a spur at its bottom-right, and the tail of the ‘Q’ is a simple, vertical stroke. Many of General Sans’s capital letters seem very geometric. General Sans’s fonts also have a full range of superior and inferior numerals for the better setting of fractions.
These alternate numerals are the same size as the capital letters. The other numerals are substituted into all-caps text by the fonts’ case-sensitive OpenType feature. Each font has two versions for each numeral the standard numerals are slightly smaller than that capital letters. The lowercase letters’ ascenders rise up to the exact height of the tops of the capital letters. The General Sans family has six weights that range from Extralight to Bold.

To make full use of the Ms Windows fonts it is necessary to create a rule mapping those generic names to the Ms Windows specific fonts contained in the various packages above: The substitutions are defined in /etc/fonts/conf.d/nf. Often websites specify the fonts using generic names (helvetica, courier, times or times new roman) and a rule in fontconfig maps these names to free fonts (Liberation, Google CrOS, GUST TeX Gyre.).
