LaserPashto for
Windows
Type Pashto in US Windows! Four TrueType and Type 1 English system Pashto fonts for use in all standard US Windows applications,
plus corresponding fonts for Arabic, Persian (Farsi and Dari). Fonts include
all characters for the Pashto language. Input is left-to-right (reverse order) for compatibility
with US Windows. Does not contextualize letter forms, but Keyboard Switcher Windows
utility normally types the medial forms and provides simple, intuitive access to initial,
final, and isolated forms of every character. For users of Microsoft Word for
Windows we have created a Word template file that includes a right to left macro
to allow you to type Pashto as if right to left in the US (English) version of Word for Windows. Simply
start a new file using the included template and activate the macro and you will
be able to type Pashto right to left, one line at a time, in the US (English)
version of Microsoft Word for
Windows.
Fonts included are LateefiLSPashto, KitabiLSPashto, NargisiLSPashto, and
SarmastLSPashto.
The fonts install into Microsoft® Windows XP, 2000, NT, Me, 98, 95, or 3.1x
and work with all Windows XP-, 2000-, NT-, Me-, 98-, 95- and 3.1x-compatible
applications that allow the user to select fonts from a font menu. The
Type 1
fonts require Adobe Type Manager® in Windows Me/98/95/3.1. The product includes
a User's Manual, keyboard layout chart(s), and Character Code Tables showing
every character in the font(s). 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.
