For a list of other Salish languages, dialects, and sub-dialects that
may be supported by these fonts, plus alternate spellings, see
below.
Salish (Salishan) languages use a combination of special
characters, characters with diacritics, and standard Latin letters with
accents and multiple accents. The LaserSalish fonts support these character
combinations, and the included keyboard software makes it easy to type any
character combination supported by the fonts. The keyboard software supports
a dead key input method. You first type a dead key representing an accent or
other diacritic, and nothing appears to happen on screen. Then you type the
letter you want accented and the keyboard software places the pre-composed
letter with its diacritic(s) into your document. Here are a few examples of
dead key input for Salish letters. In the first example below, you first
type the semicolon key ( ; ) and nothing appears to happen on screen. Then
you type the k and the glottalized-k is placed in your document.
The product includes a keyboard layout chart showing the
location on the keyboard of all characters.

System Requirements: The font may be typed with an included keyboard resource that installs 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,

alternate input method uses the EuroScript® scripting system, which installs
into Classic mode running under OS X, or into Macintosh System 7.1-9.x. The
EuroScript input method does not run on Macintoshes that do not support Classic
mode. (EuroScript has been tested in OS X 10.3 Classic Mode). The product

LaserSalishU
- For a Unicode-encoded version of
LaserSalish, available for both Windows and Macintosh, see
LaserSalishU. The Unicode-encoded fonts are not interchangeable with
LaserSalish in Unicode, but contain fonts with the same
typestyle, covering the same languages, which are supported by Unicode-compatible applications, such as
Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Lotus Symphony, InDesign, and QuarkXPress
7 and newer. Both Unicode and non-Unicode versions of LaserSalish may be
installed on your system (since they have different file and font names)
and may even be used in the same documents. They are not, however,
interchangeable (you cannot type text with one font, highlight the text,
and change it to the other font) because the encodings are different.
LaserSalish Converter
- Converts LaserSalish (ASCII-encoded) text in Word documents to the LaserSalishU
Unicode-encoded fonts.

Here's what others are saying about LaserSalish:
"I recently purchased the LaserSalish for the Burke Museum. We have been
tremendously satisfied with it. Since GIS programs can differ drastically
from the typical (e.g., Microsoft, Adobe, etc.) programs, especially
regarding data input, we were very pleasantly surprised how well the fonts
worked with it."
Jacob Fisher, Burke Museum, GIS Archaeologist, Department of
Anthropology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
"I love your products!!!! They have been a great help and a
blessing to me!"
