Fonts compatible with the ISO 10646 / Unicode Standard for encoding Tibetan characters: Tibetan Unicode[edit]
OpenType Tibetan Fonts at THDL[edit]
- Tibetan Machine Uni - based on TCC / Tony Duff's Tibetan Machine font.
- Jomolhari font - designed by Christopher Fynn based on Bhutanese manuscript examples. Primarily intended for printing texts.
On Windows XP & 2000 these fonts currently work with Office 2003 sp1 - though you will also need to install the EWTS EWTS Unicode keyboard or a another Tibetan Input Method.
