LaserVietnamese® in Unicode™ provides
professional-quality, Unicode-encoded Vietnamese fonts in TrueType®
format. These Vietnamese fonts include all accents and special
diacritics used in the Vietnamese and Jarai/Rhade languages. Because the LaserVietnamese
in Unicode fonts include separate composite forms of each vowel with
each diacritic combination, every letter shape and diacritic is
perfectly positioned.

Top LaserVietnamese in
Unicode is available for both Windows and Macintosh
 LaserVietnamese
in Unicode for Windows
 LaserVietnamese in Unicode for Macintosh
LaserVietnamese
in Unicode for Windows
LaserVietnamese in Unicode for Windows includes seven keyboard
layouts that provide four-characters-per-key input in Windows Vista, Windows XP,
Windows 2000 and Windows NT4. There are two keyboards optimized for
Vietnamese (one also supports Jarai/Rhade); three keyboards optimized for
Jarai/Rhade (one also supports Vietnamese); and two keyboards that support English
and the other supported Roman-based languages. Windows System Requirements:
| Operating Systems
|
Requires Windows Vista,
Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0. |
|
Fonts alone can be installed into Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95.
(Call for an older version.) |
|
Please read the notes below to be sure you understand the
limitations you will have if your Operating System is not
Windows Vista, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0. |
|
|
| Applications
|
Requires any Unicode-compatible application, such as Microsoft Word
2007, 2003, 2002,
2000, or 97, InDesign 2.0 or newer, or QuarkXPress 7.0. (Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 is not
compatible.) |
|
Two of the keyboards (one for
Jarai-Rhade and one for English and other supported
Latin-languages) require Microsoft Word 2007 or Word 2003,
since the keyboards make use of OpenType layout features
built into the fonts. Users who do not own Word 2007/2003,
or who must share documents with those who do not, may use
two alternate deadkey keyboards that fully support
Jarai-Rhade and Latin languages, using any
Unicode-compatible application. |
|
Older, non-Unicode applications such as
Word 95 (Word 7), Word 6, WordPerfect®, Quark XPress (through
6.5),
FrameMaker, and PageMaker are not Unicode-compatible. |
|
Only four keyboards are available in
Windows NT 4, since NT does not support either the Windows
Supplemental Language Support or the OpenType layout
features required by the other three keyboards. |
|
Microsoft PowerPoint 2003
(included in Microsoft Office 2003) is not compatible
with LaserVietnamese 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
LaserVietnamese fonts. (Earlier versions of PowerPoint
have not been tested for compatibility.) |

Notes
|
Windows
Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0: To use the keyboards for easy
input of Unicode text you
must have Windows Vista, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0. The included keyboard drivers provide
four characters-per-key input (instead of the normal two
characters-per-key), following our paper keyboard layout charts. This
provides easy, intuitive input of Vietnamese and Jarai/Rhade. Complete instructions are
included in the User's Manual included with the product. |
|
Windows Me/98/95:
The fonts
alone may be installed into
Windows Me/98/95, but the keyboard files do not install into or work in
Windows Me/98/95. This means you may install the Unicode-compatible fonts
into Windows Me/98/95 and open files that were created in Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT
using the fonts if you have a compatible, Unicode-enabled program, such as
Microsoft Word 2002/2000/97. In Windows Me/98/95 you will be able to edit
documents that use these fonts in several ways. In Word 2002 you may use
Insert Symbol or a built-in hot key feature to insert Unicode characters.
In Word 2000/97 you may use Insert Symbol or the Linguist’s Software
Word template included with the product. This template includes a macro
which duplicates most of the features of the hot key feature built into Word 2002. Using these
methods you can input characters one at a time in Windows Me/98/95. These
input methods are not as easy as using the keyboard driver in
Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT (see above), but are adequate for small editing
projects. Complete instructions are
included in the User's Manual included with the product. |
| Windows 3.x: This product does not work with Windows 3.x. |
|
Printer: The fonts will print to any Windows printer at the highest quality allowed by your
printer.
|
|
Documentation: All documentation,
including Setup Instructions, a User's
Manual, and Keyboard Layout Charts (showing placement of the
characters on the keys), is either a Word document, or in Adobe Acrobat™ PDF
format. All documentation is installed to the Windows Start menu. Users may view the documentation on screen,
or print it using
Acrobat
Reader, available free online if you do not already have it installed
on your computer. |
|
Compatibility: These fonts are compatible with the
Macintosh
version of LaserVietnamese in Unicode. No conversion of files is necessary
when transferring files to Macintosh if your applications are fully
Unicode-aware and compatible fonts are installed on both systems. |
|
Converting files from
LaserVietnamese to LaserVietnameseU: The
LaserVietnamese Converter is available
to convert LaserVietnamese (ASCII-encoded) Word files to the
LaserVietnameseU fonts. |
|
|
Cost: US$ 99.95 for any single
set; $50 for each additional set for Windows
purchased at the same time; $249.95
for LaserVietnamese Professional in Unicode for Windows (all sets together) Order

LaserVietnamese in Unicode for
Macintosh
LaserVietnamese in Unicode for Macintosh provides Unicode-encoded
fonts in TrueType format for use in OS X with any Unicode-compliant
application. Every diacritic is perfectly positioned because the fonts
include separate composite forms of each vowel with each diacritic
combination. The product includes eight keyboard layouts. Four
keyboards are optimized for Vietnamese (two also support Jarai/Rhade and one
supports Rhade), and
four keyboards are optimized for Jarai/Rhade.
Four of the keyboards also support English and the other supported
Latin-based languages.
Macintosh System Requirements:
| Operating Systems
|
Mac OS X |
|
| Applications
|
Any Unicode-compatible application. |
|
Two of the included keyboards (supporting
Jarai/Rhade) require Mellel, available separately. The other two
Jarai/Rhade keyboards are supported by any Unicode-compatible
application. |
|
The only Macintosh applications we are
aware of that support Unicode at this time are Microsoft Word 2004,
Mellel, InDesign CS, QuarkExpress 7.0,
OpenOffice, Pages, Nisus
Writer Express, TextEdit (included with Mac OS X), Oxygen, and BBEdit. We have
only tested the fonts in Word 2004, Mellel, Nisus Writer Express and TextEdit.
(If you are aware of additional applications please let
us know.)

These fonts are compatible with the Windows
version of LaserVietnamese in Unicode. No conversion of files is necessary

LaserVietnamese Converter is available to convert
LaserVietnamese (ASCII-encoded) Word files to the LaserVietnameseU
fonts. |

Macintosh purchased at the same time; $249.95

Macintosh (all sets together) Order

For non-Unicode versions of these fonts, available for both Windows
and Macintosh, see:
The non-Unicode LaserVietnamese fonts are not interchangeable with
LaserVietnamese in Unicode. Both Unicode and non-Unicode fonts, including
Unicode and non-Unicode versions of LaserVietnamese, 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.
To convert Word files typed with the
non-Unicode LaserVietnamese fonts, see the LaserVietnamese Converter.
Vietnamese users may also be interested in our
LaserRade, which supports the Radegain languages of
Vietnam.

Here's what others are saying about LaserVietnamese in Unicode:
"I want to compliment Linguist's Software on its Installation Manual
and User's Manual. They are by far the best written and the easiest to
understand of any software manuals I've seen in over 10 years."
