DESCRIPTION: This folder contains the files you will need to install
|
|
and use the Tibetan Machine True Type font. The font itself consists
|
|
of five (5) files that need to be installed in the system's font
|
|
folder, a PDF file containing the font's documentation, and this
|
|
ReadMe file. IT IS QUITE LIKELY THAT YOU REALLY WANT THE TIBETAN
|
|
MACHINE WEB FONT. The Tibetan Machine Web font works correctly on
|
|
more systems, and it does not differ in appearance from this font in
|
|
any way.
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION FOR WINDOWS XP: To install the files, open the Control
|
|
Panel, select Appearance and Themes, and select Fonts from the "See
|
|
Also" section at left. Select File -> Install New Font. Navigate to
|
|
the directory where you extracted the .ttf files. Select all 10
|
|
files. Be sure "Copy fonts to Fonts folder" is checked, and press OK.
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION FOR OTHER SYSTEMS: To install the files copy them from
|
|
the folder to which they were extracted into the system's font folder.
|
|
In Windows this generally under Windows/Fonts; on the Mac this is
|
|
found in System/Fonts, both paths starting from the hard-drive's root
|
|
directory. The fonts are True Type fonts.
|
|
|
|
FILE NAMES: There are twelve (12) files contained in this folder:
|

|
|
In addition, surf to http://thdl.org/ and look for the following
|
|
document:
|
|
Tibetan Machine Web Documentation -
|
|
This is a PDF file that contains the original documentation
|
|
for the font, including descriptions of the glyphs and their
|
|
ASCII codes, as well as information on which vowel glyphs are
|
|
used with each consonant glyph or stack glyph. The font
|
|
encodings are included with the manual for Tibetan! 5.1, a
|
|
plug-in for Microsoft Word written by Tony Duff of the Tibetan
|
|
Computer Company and also available for free download from the
|
|
Tibetan and Himalayan Digital Library's Digital Media Tools
|
|
site at http://thdl.org/.
|
|
|
|
TROUBLESHOOTING: If you have difficulty installing or using the font,
|
|
first try the Tibetan Machine Web font instead, and if that fails,
|
|
visit
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=502516&group_id=61934&func=browse
|
|
and submit a support request, or e-mail
|
|

|
|
of THDL tools.
