LaserChechen provides professional-quality, hinted fonts in TrueType and Type 1 formats for typing Chechen, Turkish, English and Azeri. The ChechenLS font is available in 6 typestyles (Times-, Helvetica-, Garamond-, Palatino-, Courier-, and Chancery-styles) in plain, bold, italic, and bold-italic styles (except ChechenLSChan is plain only). LaserChechen for Windows and LaserChechen for Macintosh are cross-platform compatible in the same manner as any regular English system font. No conversion is necessary.

To type Chechen in the Cyrillic script see Cyrillic II, TransCyrillic, and TransCyrillic in Unicode.

LaserChechen for Windows

LaserChechen for Windows includes two optional keyboard layouts: The Chechen US deadkey layout is based on the US keyboard but with the special Chechen letters available through typing a deadkey accent followed by the desired letter. (For example, type the semicolon followed by "a" to get "ä".) This layout also has all the special Chechen characters available by alternate keystrokes described on the included keyboard layout chart. The second layout is the Chechen Standard layout based on the work done by the committee commissioned by the President of the Chechen Republic (through the resolution of Parliament ChRI).

The fonts install into Microsoft® Windows XP, 2000, NT, Me, 98, or 95 and work with all Windows XP-, 2000-, NT-, Me-, 98-, and 95-compatible applications that allow the user to select fonts from a font menu. (A custom version compatible with Windows 3.1 is available by request.) The Type 1 fonts require Adobe Type Manager® in Windows Me/98/95. The product includes a Setup Manual, a User's Manual, keyboard layout chart(s), and Character Code Tables showing every character in the font(s). (All documentation is in PDF format, and requires Adobe Reader to view/print.) The included Keyboard Switcher (keyboard driver) allows access to four characters per key (instead of the normal two) and alternate keyboard layouts. The fonts alone (without Keyboard Switcher) will install into Linux, but Linux users must provide alternate keyboard input for characters in the extended character set. These fonts will print to any printer at the highest quality allowed by your printer.

Cost: US$ 99.95 for a single typestyle (Times®-, Helvetica®-, Palatino®-, Garamond-, Chancery-, or Courier®-style); $149.95 for any two typestyles; $199.95 for any three typestyles; or $249.95 for all six typestyles. (The $50 discounted price for additional typestyles applies only to additional typestyles of this product for Windows.)

LaserChechen for Macintosh

LaserChechen for Macintosh includes three optional keyboard layouts: the standard layout based on the work done by the committee commissioned by the President of the Chechen Republic (through the resolution of Parliament ChRI); a layout based on the US keyboard layout (QWERTY), but with the Chechen special characters available on optional keys; and a deadkey layout based on the US keyboard but with the special Chechen letters available through typing a deadkey accent followed by the desired letter. (For example, type the semicolon followed by "a" to get "ä".)

System Requirements: System 7.1-9.x or OS X. The font is typed using either the US keyboard or an included alternate keyboard, which installs only into OS X 10.2 and above or System 7.1-9.x. (The alternate keyboard does not support OS X 10.0 or 10.1, which do not allow installation of alternate keyboard resources. Owners of OS X 10.0 or 10.1 must use the US keyboard.) The product includes a User's Manual, a keyboard resource, and keyboard layout chart(s).

Cost: US$ 99.95 for a single typestyle (Times®-, Helvetica®-, Palatino®-, Garamond-, Chancery-, or Courier®-style); $149.95 for any two typestyles; $199.95 for any three typestyles; or $249.95 for all six typestyles. (The $50 discounted price for additional typestyles applies only to additional typestyles of this product for Macintosh.)
