The Tibetan & Himalayan Digital Library releases 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 over many
|
||
|
|
years, 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 and Christopher Fynn under the
|
||
|
|
auspices of THDL. This new OpenType version of the font contains
|
||
|
|
almost 4,000 glyphs and can generate over 20,000 different
|
||
|
|
combinations.
