This article describes how to install the required software in order to be able to display and edit texts encoded in [[Tibetan Unicode]]
Kala Heruka - ([[khrag 'thung nag po]]).
==Overview==
In order to be able to view and edit Tibetan texts encoded in [[Tibetan Unicode]] you need three components:


* A operating system that supports displaying ''complex scripts''.
*[[Kalaheruka]].
* [[Tibetan Fonts]] in Unicode format
*[[Wellsprings of the Great Perfection]] has a chapter with his song of realization.
* A [[Tibetan Input Method]]


One of the major advantages of Unicode is that Unicode applications do not need to understand the rules how to create glyphs for a given language. The actual knowhow how to create Tibetan stacks resides within the unicode font and the ''complex script'' support of the operating system.

Once all three components above are available, standard Unicode applications can be used to create, edit and display Tibetan texts.
 
A particularly useful Unicode application is [http://www.openoffice.org OpenOffice]. OpenOffice 2 is available for Windows, Linux and Mac (see http://www.neooffice.org and comments below) so Unicode documents created with OpenOffice can efficiently be shared across platforms.

===Installing Unicode fonts===
===Installing a Tibetan input method===
==Unicode enabling Windows Vista==
No software needs to be installed: Windows Vista already contains all three required components: an input method (see Control Panel / Regional and Language settings for a Tibetan keyboard), support to display Tibetan script and a Tibetan font, Microsoft Himalaya.
 
In addition you might want to install additional [[Tibetan Fonts]] (all existing Unicode fonts seem to work well) or an alternative [[Tibetan Input Method]].
 
You can directly start using Notepad, OpenOffice or the latest Microsoft Office version to create Tibetan documents in standard Unicode encoding.
