Fonts

The pdf documents have the font embedded and they can be read without installing any of the fonts listed below; and since September 2011 all the htm documents have been converted to Unicode. If you are only going to be reading the Text and Translations and English Only sections there is no need to install any special font.

However, if you want to read the Original Texts and Prosody sections you may need to download and install the fonts otherwise the character sets may not show correctly, as most Unicode fonts do not have the characters used in Prakrit and the metrical characters I use on this site.

Depending on your browser, the fonts will download and install temporarily, but if this does not happen you will have to install the fonts yourself. You then need to download and install the ITM_TMS_UNI font (128 KB), which come in 4 styles - Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic. To view the character set and find out more about the font, please read the ITM_TMS_UNI-reference.pdf (444 KB).

There is also a Unicode input-programme (372 KB) to easily insert the diacritics using any Unicode font in Windows that has Pāḷi and Sanskrit characters. It works with any programme which accepts text-input, and can also input into find and search and replace widgets.

Bhikkhu Pesala, who first requested the pages be made available in Unicode, has also very kindly made an ITM_Verajja font, which has a much more extensive character set (991 glyphs as against 336 in ITM_TMS_UNI).

All of the above fonts (ITM & Unicode) are being distributed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, a copy of which can be read here.

The css files define the Unicode fonts in this order: ITM_TMS_UNI, ITM_TFY_UNI, ITM_Verajja, "Gandhari Unicode", "Times Ext Roman", "Indic Times", "Arial Unicode MS", Tahoma, Gentium, serif. This is a descending order: if ITM_TMS_UNI is installed it will show that font, if it is not, but ITM_TFY_UNI is installed it will show that font, and so on down.
