-On Windows XP & 2000 these fonts currently work with Office 2003 sp1 - though you will also need to install the EWTS [http://www.thdl.org/tools/input.html EWTS Unicode keyboard] or a another [[Tibetan Input Method]].

-When creating PDF files with Unicode Tibetan fonts try to use a font where the glyphs have been named according to Adobe's [http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/glyph.html Glyph Naming Convention] - otherwise you may not be able to reliably cut and paste Unicode text from Tibetan PDF documents and you may not be able to properly search or index Unicode Tibetan PDF documents.
-Tibetan Machine Uni, Jomolhari and Nitartha-Sambhota Dege have the glyphs named according to Adobe's standard. Microsoft Himalaya does not.
-==Tibetan Unicode Fonts in InDesign==
-[http://www.thlib.org/tools/#wiki=/access/wiki/site/26a34146-33a6-48ce-001e-f16ce7908a6a/jomolhari%20id.html  Jomolhari ID] is a cross-platform version of the Jomolhari font which  works under Windows, Linux, Mac OSX (10.5) and in Adobe's ''InDesign'' (CS3 & CS4) without the need of a plug-in.
-[http://www.metadesignsolutions.com/IndicPlus.html MetaDesign Solutions] produce a plug-in called IndicPlus for Adobe ''InDesign'' which enables support of OpenType fonts for Indic Scripts - including Tibetan -  in Adobe ''InDesign'' CS2, CS3 and CS4. This plug-in should be useful for those needing to prepare printed and PDF publications in this application using other Unicode Tibetan script fonts.
