What is `sil-apparatus-fonts`

The Apparatus SIL font family was designed to provide most of the symbols needed to reproduce the textual apparatus found in major editions of Greek & Hebrew biblical texts.

This assures that both Charis SIL and Apparatus SIL can be used together in documents with a consistency of style.
