Welcome to LaserPunjabi in Unicode for Windows and
Macintosh (hereafter LaserPunjabiU). Our Punjabi font, used since 1993 by
scholars and publishers world-wide is now available in a Unicode-encoded
version. This exciting product includes the PunjabiLSU
Unicode-encoded TrueType® font supporting the Gurmukhi (Gurumukhi) script, for typing the Punjabi
language. The font also supports English and other west
European Latin-1 languages, so you can type Punjabi and English (etc.) without
changing fonts. PunjabiLSU is provided in
plain (regular), bold, italic, and bold-italic
typestyles.
LaserPunjabiU includes keyboard software
allowing easy, logical input of Punjabi. It easily creates conjuncts,
and automatically positions vowels and diacritical marks as you type. The
phonetic layout places the consonants
and vowels on the US keyboard phonetically as much as possible, while the
traditional keyboard follows the Punjabi traditional layout. Keyboard
support for English and other supported Latin languages is also provided.
 *
LaserPunjabiU for Windows
and LaserPunjabiU for Macintosh are
fully compatible with
each other. Documents typed with these fonts may be transferred back and forth
between Windows and Macintosh with no conversion necessary as long the fonts are
installed on both computers, and compatible software is used. (Please be
sure you understand the System Requirements for
Windows and
Macintosh before you order.)

LaserPunjabi in Unicode for Windows
LaserPunjabi in Unicode for Windows provides a high-quality, Unicode-encoded
Punjabi font (described
above) in TrueType®
OpenType® format for typing Punjabi, plus English and other Latin-1 languages.
LaserPunjabi in Unicode
for Windows includes three keyboard layouts that provide four-characters-per-key input
(instead of the normal two) in Windows 7, Vista, XP and 2000.
 |
The PunjabiLSU Phonetic keyboard layout
is a transliterated keyboard arrangement, with the Punjabi
consonants and vowels placed on the
US keyboard phonetically as much as possible. |
|
The PunjabiLSU Traditional keyboard
layout is a traditional Punjabi layout. |
|
The EnglishLS keyboard layout allows the user to type
English and other western Latin-based languages easily, using deadkey
input, in Unicode-compatible applications. The user first presses a key representing the accent, and nothing
appears to happen on screen. Then the user presses a letter, and the
keyboard software places the combined letter with its accent in the
document. This keyboard allows the user to
toggle from either of the PunjabiLSU keyboards into the EnglishLS keyboard
and type English, French, German, Spanish, etc., without changing
fonts. |

The LaserPunjabi non-Unicode font is not interchangeable with

installed on your system (since they have different file and font names)
and may even be used in the same documents.
