LaserYukon in Unicode fonts include
OpenType™ layout features. A new font technology called
OpenType extends the ability of fonts to support international character
sets by allowing greater typographic control over letters and their
associated accents. OpenType allows composite forms of accented letters
to be input, built up, and properly positioned as the letter and its
accents are typed by the user. Combined with the Linguist's Software
keyboard software, this provides unparalleled ease of use, intuitive input
methods, and beautiful printed output. The information that follows on
this page will show you the wide range of characters supported by the
font and the simple input method provided by our included keyboard
software.
(OpenType fonts require the use of certain
Operating Systems and applications. Be sure you read the System
Requirements for Windows or
Macintosh, further down the page, before you order.)
All vowels (Aa, Ee, Ii, Oo, Uu, Yy) with all accent combinations are
supported.
Other special characters for Athapaskan
languages are included.
Typing accented letters is easy and intuitive. Just type the letter
and then the accent key. LaserYukon in Unicode includes a
keyboard layout
chart showing how to type every letter and accent.
Other examples:
See the
keyboard layout chart again to see how easy it is to type these accented
letters. The final example above would be typed: a,
shift+apostrophe, apostrophe, slash. All three accents are
available using the little finger on the right hand. This makes learning how
to build up accent combinations very easy. You will soon be touch-typing! Top

LaserYukon in
Unicode is available for Windows and
Macintosh.
 LaserYukon
in Unicode for Windows
The product includes two keyboard layouts that support
four characters per key (instead of the normal two) in Windows XP and Windows 2000
SP3.
One keyboard supports the Athapaskan languages and the other optional
keyboard supports English and other Latin 1 languages. Both keyboard layouts take advantage of the OpenType layout features
built into the fonts for the most logical, intuitive input possible. Input
order is letter, accent, accent, as described above. The letter with its associated
accents
is built up automatically as you type, with all accents perfectly
positioned.
Windows System Requirements:
| Operating Systems
| Requires Windows XP or Windows 2000 SP3. |
|
| Applications
|
Requires Microsoft Word 2003 or another
component of Microsoft Office System 2003. (Microsoft PowerPoint
2003 is not compatible.) |
|
Older versions of Word (including Word 2002 and
Word 2000) will not work. |
|
Older, non-Unicode applications such as Word 95 (Word
7) and Word 6 are
not compatible. Quark XPress, PageMaker, Corel WordPerfect,
and Lotus Word Pro are
not compatible. |
|
Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 (included in
Microsoft Office 2003) is not compatible with LaserYukon 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 LaserYukon fonts. (Earlier
versions of PowerPoint have not been tested for compatibility.) |

| Notes
|
OpenType:
The two primary components of OpenType are the Uniscribe shaping
engine built into Windows by Microsoft and the OpenType layout
features built into a font by its maker (like Linguist's Software).
The Uniscribe shaping engine is updated periodically by
Microsoft with new capabilities being added with each new release.
The version of Uniscribe that ships with the Microsoft Office System
(i.e. Office 2003) includes support for accents in Latin scripts for
the first time. At this time only Office 2003 includes this version
of Uniscribe (version 1.0471.4030.0). Therefore, installation of
Office 2003 is required. However, any other applications which
install and support this or later versions of Uniscribe will also
work. If you discover another application which supports the
OpenType features of LaserYukon in Unicode for Windows, please us with the
application's name and version number. |

Printer: The fonts will print to any Windows printer at the highest quality allowed by your
printer. |

Documentation: All documentation,

For non-Unicode versions of these fonts, available for both Windows
and Macintosh, see:
The non-Unicode LaserYukon fonts are not
interchangeable with LaserYukon in Unicode. Both Unicode and non-Unicode fonts, including
Unicode and non-Unicode versions of LaserYukon, may be
installed on your system (since they have different file and font names)
and may even be used in the same files. They are not, however,
interchangeable.
