LaserGujarati® in Unicode™ for Windows® or
Macintosh®
provides a professional-quality Unicode-encoded Gujarati font in TrueType® OpenType® format, in plain,
bold, italic, and bold-italic weights, for
typing Gujarati, English, and other west European languages. The
GujaratiLSU™ font contains hundreds of conjuncts including composite and
half-form. The product
includes a phonetic keyboard layout for easy, intuitive input of
consonants, vowels, and conjuncts. The keyboard layout places the
consonants and vowels on the US keyboard phonetically as much as
possible, and provides four characters per key
(instead of the normal two) for easy input of Gujarati.
Conjuncts are formed by simply typing the "a" key between consonants.
Vowels are positioned automatically as you type.
The font also makes the complete alphabet and conjuncts with preceding
or succeeding "ra".
See below for additional samples.
LaserGujarati in Unicode is available for both
Windows and Macintosh.
 LaserGujarati® in Unicode™ for
Windows® includes two keyboard layouts that provide
four characters per key (instead of the normal two) for easy, intuitive
input of Gujarati, English, west European, and other supported languages, using Microsoft Word
2010, 2007,
or 2003, InDesign CS4 or newer (with installation of World Tools or ScribeDOOR),
in Windows 7, Vista, XP, or 2000 SP3, or the free
LibreOffice, OpenOffice,
or Lotus Symphony
word processors in Windows
7, Vista, or XP. The
keyboard layouts take advantage of the OpenType layout features built into
the fonts for logical, intuitive input. System Requirements:
 | Operating Systems
|
Requires Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows
XP, or Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or newer. |
|
Requires Windows complex script Supplemental
Language Support in Windows XP and 2000. To install this requires your Windows
XP or 2000 installation CD. We show you how to install this feature
as part of setup. (This feature is built into Windows Vista and does
not need to be separately installed.) |
|
This product will not work in any earlier version of
Windows (NT/Me/98/95/3.x). |
|
|
| Applications
|
Requires Microsoft Word 2010, 2007 or 2003 (or another component
of Office 2010, 2007, or 2003), InDesign CS4 or newer (with
the installation of World Tools or ScribeDOOR), or the free
LibreOffice, OpenOffice,
or
Lotus Symphony
word processors. Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 is
not compatible. |
|
No earlier version of Word (2002/2000/97/95/6), and no version
of WordPerfect support this product. |
|
QuarkXPress, Framemaker, and PageMaker
do not support Gujarati.
(QuarkXPress 7.0 or newer is Unicode-compatible, but does not support
the OpenType features of these fonts. Version 8.02 was
tested and does not support Gujarati.) |
|
The free word processors in
LibreOffice, OpenOffice,
or
Lotus Symphony do not support Gujarati in Windows 2000,
but do fully support Gujarati in Windows 7, Vista, and XP.
Word 2003 supports Gujarati in Windows 2000. |
|
These fonts include OpenType tables for proper positioning of
characters and creation of conjuncts. Applications which will work properly will include
or support a version of the Windows Uniscribe Unicode script
processor (usp10.dll) that supports Gujarati. |
|
Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 (included in
Microsoft Office 2003) is not compatible with
LaserGujarati in Unicode for Windows. 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 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 LaserGujarati
fonts. |
|
|
| Notes
|
The fonts will print to any Windows printer at the highest quality allowed by your
printer. |
|
These fonts are compatible with
the Macintosh version of LaserGujarati in Unicode. No conversion of files is necessary
when transferring files between Windows and Macintosh, if LaserGujarati in Unicode fonts are installed on both systems.
(At this time only the word processor Mellel for Macintosh
supports Gujarati on the Mac.)
