AfroRoman in Unicode for Windows AfroRoman in Unicode for Windows

AfroRoman in Unicode for Windows includes four keyboard layouts that provide four-characters-per-key input (instead of the normal two-characters-per-key) in Windows Vista, XP, 2000 and NT4. The keyboards are phonetic, based on the US keyboard, and allow easy input of all characters and diacritics supported by the fonts.

The first keyboard layout (called the AfroRomanLS OT layout) takes advantage of the OpenType layout features built into the fonts for the most logical, intuitive input possible. Input order is letter, accent, accent. The letter with its associated diacritics is built up automatically as you type, with all diacritics perfectly spaced. This keyboard layout requires Microsoft Word 2007 or 2003, or another component of Microsoft Office 2007 or 2003 (except PowerPoint 2003, which is not compatible; see System Requirements). The included keyboard chart shows exactly what keystroke the user must type.

Description of the AfroRomanLS OT keyboard layout.

The second keyboard layout (called the AfroRomanLS Deadkey layout) works with any Unicode-compatible application and uses dead key input to type letters with their associated diacritics. The user first types the dead key (representing the accent) and nothing happens. Then the user types the letter and the accented letter appears in the file. For example:

Example of the use of the AfroRomanLS Deadkey keyboard layout.

The third and fourth keyboard layouts are for typing English and other Latin 1 languages supported by the fonts. One keyboard supports the OpenType features built into the font and works only with Word 2007 or 2003, as a companion to the first keyboard (AfroRomanLS OT) described above. The other English keyboard uses dead key input, allowing it to work with any Unicode-compatible application; it is a companion layout to the second keyboard (AfroRomanLS Deadkey) described just above.

Users can easily switch between keyboard layouts at any time using a keyboard shortcut or their mouse. Detailed instructions and printable keyboard layout charts showing all keystrokes are included in the product.

(Note: The two OT keyboards do not install into Windows NT4 because Office 2007 and 2003 do not install into Windows NT. Windows NT users will be fully supported by the two dead key keyboard layouts.)

Windows System Requirements:
bullet

Operating Systems
bullet

Fonts and keyboards: Windows Vista, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0.

bullet

Fonts alone: Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95.

bullet

Please read the notes below to be sure you understand the limitations you will have if your Operating System is not Windows Vista, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0.

bullet

Applications
bullet

Any Unicode-compatible application, such as Microsoft Word 2007, 2003, 2002, 2000, or 97, is compatible. Adobe® InDesign®, QuarkXPress 7.0 and above, and Microsoft Publisher are compatible.

bullet

Non-Unicode-compatible applications such as Word 95 (Word 7) and Word 6 are not compatible. Quark XPress 6.5 and older, PageMaker, FrameMaker, Corel WordPerfect, and Lotus Word Pro are not compatible.

bullet

Microsoft Office 2007 or 2003 is required to use the included AfroRomanU OT keyboard layout for the most intuitive input order (letter-accent-accent). Users of any other Unicode-compatible application are fully supported by the AfroRomanU Deadkey keyboard layout, which provides dead key input (accent-letter). Both keyboard layouts provide full access to all letters and diacritics in the fonts; they differ only in input method. (Note that Office 2007 and 2003 only install into Windows Vista, XP or 2000 SP3 or higher.)

bullet

Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 (included in Microsoft Office 2003) is not compatible with AfroRomanU fonts. All text is changed to the Arial font, whether typed with the keyboard, input using Insert Symbol, or pasted from Word using the Windows clipboard. PowerPoint 2003 users should type their text in Word or another Unicode-compatible application, and save the text as a graphic for import into PowerPoint. Users can also use WordArt to create their text. To do this in PowerPoint go to Insert, Picture, WordArt, and type your text, formatting it as desired. Alternatively, users can type directly into PowerPoint using our non-Unicode AfroRoman fonts. (PowerPoint 2007 is compatible with AfroRomanU fonts. Versions before PowerPoint 2003 have not been tested for compatibility.)

bullet

Do you need a copy of Microsoft Word 2002? We can provide the OEM version at a discounted price. (Note you can use the deadkey input with Word 2002, but Word 2003 is required to use the OpenType keyboard layout method.)

bullet

Notes
bullet

Windows Vista, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0: To use the keyboards for easy input of Unicode text you must have Windows Vista, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0. The included keyboard drivers provide four characters-per-key input (instead of the normal two characters-per-key), following our printable keyboard layout charts. Complete instructions are included in the User's Manual included with the product.

bullet

Windows Me/98/95: The fonts alone may be installed into Windows Me/98/95, but the keyboard files do not install into or work in Windows Me/98/95. This means you may install the Unicode-compatible fonts into Windows Me/98/95 and open files that were created in Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT using the fonts if you have a compatible, Unicode-enabled program, such as Microsoft Word 2002/2000/97. In Windows Me/98/95 you will be able to edit documents that use these fonts in several ways. In Word 2002 you may use Insert Symbol or a built-in hot key feature to insert Unicode characters. In Word 2000/97 you may use Insert Symbol or the Linguist’s Software Word template included with the product. This template includes a macro which duplicates most of the features of the hot key feature built into Word 2002. Using these methods you can input characters one at a time in Windows Me/98/95. These input methods are not as easy as using the keyboard driver in Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT (see above), but are adequate for very small editing projects. (Note that Windows 95 may not display all characters in the fonts.) Complete instructions are included in the User's Manual included with the product.

bullet

Windows 3.x: This product does not install into or work with Windows 3.x.

bullet

Printer: The fonts will print to any Windows printer at the highest quality allowed by your printer.

bullet

Documentation: All documentation, including a Setup Manual, a User's Manual, and Keyboard Layout Charts (showing placement of the characters on the keys), is in Adobe Acrobat™ PDF format, and is installed into the Windows Start menu for easy access. Users may view the documentation on screen or print it, using Acrobat Reader, available free online if you do not already have it.

bulletApplications
bullet

Any Unicode-compatible application will support the deadkey keyboard. The AfroRomanLS OT keyboard requires Mellel 1.8 or higher.

bullet

The only Macintosh applications we are aware of that support Unicode at this time are Microsoft Word 2004, Nisus Writer Express, InDesign CS, TextEdit (included with Mac OS X), Mellel, Oxygen, BBEdit, and OpenOffice. We have only tested the fonts in Word 2004, Nisus Writer Express and TextEdit. (If you are aware of additional applications please let us know.)

bullet

Even applications that claim to be Unicode and OpenType compliant may only support a limited range of Unicode characters or a limited set of OpenType features. Contact Linguist's Software about compatibility questions and about the availability of a non-Unicode version of this product that works in all applications.

bulletNotes
bullet

These fonts are compatible with the Windows version of AfroRoman in Unicode. No conversion of files is necessary when transferring files to Windows if your applications are fully Unicode-aware and compatible fonts are installed on both systems.

bullet

AfroRoman - For a non-Unicode version of AfroRoman, available for both Windows and Macintosh, see AfroRoman. The non-Unicode font is not interchangeable with AfroRoman in Unicode, but contains a font with the same typestyle, covering most the same languages, which will work in non-Unicode applications, such as Quark XPress, PageMaker, FrameMaker, and WordPerfect. Both Unicode and non-Unicode versions of AfroRoman may be installed on your system (since they have different file and font names) and may even be used in the same files. They are not, however, interchangeable. (You cannot type text with one font, highlight the text, and change it to the other font.)

(With thanks to the University of California at Berkeley Linguistics department for research. Based on the Bantu alphabets we have been able to confirm we believe AfroRomanU covers the vast majority of these languages. We have not confirmed that AfroRomanU includes every character form in use for all these languages.)
