THDL: Tibetan Machine Uni: An OpenType, Unicode Tibetan Font
[Nathaniel Garson]
The Tibetan & Himalayan Digital Library project at the University of Virginia is pleased to make available the alpha release of the Unicode character based Tibetan Machine Uni OpenType font for writing Tibetan, Dzongkha and Ladakhi in dbu can script with full support for the Sanskrit combinations found in chos skad texts. This font is based on the Tibetan Machine font originally designed and developed by Tony Duff of the Tibetan Computer Company, the rights of which were purchased from him by the Trace Foundation in order to make it freely available under the terms of the Gnu General Public License. OpenType tables and more than 2,000 additional glyphs were added to the original font by Nathaniel Garson of THDL under the guidance of Christopher Fynn. This new OpenType version of the font contains almost 4,000 glyphs and can generate over 20,000 different combinations. The Tibetan Machine Uni font was developed to enable Unicode based Tibetan script computing on any platform with an OpenType engine. The latest version of Tibetan Machine Uni is freely downloadable from http://www.thdl.org/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/thdltools/. Source files are also available from http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/thdltools/Fonts/TibetanMachineUni/. TibetanMachineUni was produced in 2004. |
