(A custom version for Windows 3.1 is available by request.) Type 1 fonts are also provided and require Adobe Type Manager® in Windows Me/98/95. The included Keyboard Switcher (keyboard driver) provides alternate keyboard layouts and allows access to four characters per key (instead of the normal two). The product includes 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 can be viewed and/or printed using Adobe Reader. The fonts will print to any printer at the highest quality allowed by your printer.

A custom version (fonts only) is available for Linux, but Linux users must provide alternate keyboard input for characters in the extended character set. If you are ordering for Linux be sure to select the Linux box on the Order Form.

Here's what others are saying about LaserSyriac:

"Thank you for your help. The fonts are beautiful. What I liked the most in your fonts was partly their high fidelity to historical forms of writing, and partly the fact that they, unlike all other available Syriac fonts, come perfectly in small (10p, 12p) sizes on the screen."
Professor Tamas Sajo, Central European University, Budapest, Hungary

"I have installed the Jacobite font and have been using it with great success. I compliment you on your package. I have just completed an article for the Irish Biblical Studies using your software."
Dr. Jeremy Moiser, Perthshire, UK

"Just now I have installed your Estrangelo and Jacobite fonts. All right. I finished some weeks ago a long article on the origins of ancient Armenian writing and literature, and some Syriac characters were missing. Now all is in order. Thank you very much."
Prof. Emeritus Walter Belardi, "La Sapienza" University of Rome, "Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia

"Thanks for your super fonts! You have my permission to quote me on anything that I say about your products. They're super!"
James L. Johns, New College, University of Edinburgh, Scotland
