Re Himalayan Font

The highest mountains on Earth are found in the Himalayas. This great mountain system of southern Asia stretches for about 1,550 miles (2,500 kilometers) from west to east. Most of the Himalayas lie within China, India, Nepal, and Bhutan. In the Sanskrit language of India, the name Himalayas means “abode of snow.” It refers to the vast, year-round snowfields on the lofty peaks.

No other mountain range on Earth compares to the Himalayas. Nine of Earth’s 10 highest peaks are Himalayan; the other, K2, is in the nearby Karakoram Range. The peak of Mount Everest, at 29,035 feet (8,850 meters) above sea level, is the highest point on Earth. It lies on the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. Nineteen major rivers, including the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra, begin in the Himalayas.

Few people live in the highest parts of the Himalayas, where the climate is very harsh. More people live on the lower slopes and in the valleys. The people are a mix of ethnic groups. The Sherpa, who live to the south of Mount Everest, are famous as guides for mountain climbers.

Most of the people of the Himalayas support themselves by growing crops and raising animals. Rice, corn, wheat, millet, and sugarcane are among the major crops. Fruit orchards in some valleys produce apples, peaches, pears, and cherries. The Darjeeling district of northern India is famous for its tea.

Mountain climbers first turned their attention to the Himalayas in the 1880s. In the 1900s mountaineers climbed the highest Himalayan peaks for the first time. The New Zealander Edmund Hillary and the Sherpa Tenzing Norgay reached the summit of Mount Everest in 1953. The Himalayas challenge an increasing number of trekkers and climbers every year.

Introduction
གླེང་བརྗོད༎

Over the years a number of Tibetan fonts have been ‘freely’available on the web. Unfortunately, most sites listing Tibetan fontsonly provide links to the original provider of the font, many of whichhave since been removed or obfuscated. Moreover, several commonfonts are only available as Windows .exe files, making it difficult toload them on Mac or Linux computers. Together, these factors make itnearly impossible to obtain the proper legacy Tibetan fonts needed toread certain Tibetan-language websites.

If all sites were already using Unicode for Tibetan, we wouldn’thave this problem; any Tibetan font could be used in place of the fontintended on the site. But sadly, the day when everyone has switched toUnicode still seems far far away.

This site provides all known ‘semi-free’ Tibetan fonts I have beenable to obtain, and all fonts necessary to be able to read websites ordocuments in particular legacy encodings, for direct download. This ismeant purely as a service to the Tibetan-language community andparticularly to Tibetans.

Legacy Fonts

The following fonts are made available as .zip files. Recentversions of Windows can directly read zip files without anyadditional software. Once you download these files you will need tocopy the fonts inside the zip files (not the zip files themselves) tothe Windows fonts folder (usually C:WindowsFonts). Ifyou’re not using Windows but another operating system you probablyalready know what to do.

Unicode Fonts

The main purepose of this page is to facilitate obtaining the rarelegacy fonts needed to read various websites, but I am also providingsome Unicode fonts, which should be used for all new content inTibetan.

Input Methods/Keyboards

This site is aimed at providing the actual font files, not anyparticular software for inputting Tibetan text. Tibetan input softwareis available from a number of other sites, but most of it is tied toparticular legacy fonts.

For Unicode Tibetan, Windows Vista provides a Tibetan keyboardconfiguration, and several keyboards and input methods are availablefor Windows XP and older versions of Windows as well. In the future Iwill provide another page detailing how to obtain and installthese.
