This is an overview of the currently available Tibetan computer fonts
==Fonts compatible with the ISO 10646 / Unicode Standard for encoding Tibetan characters: [[Tibetan Unicode]]== 
===OpenType Tibetan Fonts at THDL=== 
* [http://www.thdl.org/xml/show.php?xml=/tools/tibfonts.xml&l=uva10928423419921 Tibetan Machine Uni] - based on TCC / Tony Duff's ''Tibetan Machine'' font. <br> 
* [http://www.thdl.org/xml/show.php?xml=/tools/tibfonts.xml&l=uva200607171100 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 [http://www.thdl.org/tools/input.html EWTS Unicode keyboard] or a another [[Tibetan Input Method]]. For information on using the font with other applications please see: THDLs [http://www.thdl.org/xml/showEssay.php?xml=/tools/tibfontuse.xml Instructions for using Tibetan Unicode Fonts in Windows].

Windows Vista fully supports both fonts without additional software.
