LaserLaotian Fonts — Now Available in a Unicode-Encoded Version! |
for Windows |
for Macintosh |
Welcome to LaserLaotian in Unicode for Windows and Macintosh (hereafter LaserLaotianU). This exciting product provides two Unicode-encoded Laotian fonts, supporting Laotian, plus English and other west European Latin-1 languages, so you can type Laotian and English (etc.) without changing fonts.
LaotianLSU is a sans serif font, provided in plain (regular), bold, italic, and bold-italic typestyles.
LaoSukanyaLSU is a font with contrasting stroke thicknesses, provided in plain (regular), bold, italic, and bold-italic typestyles.
LaserLaotianU includes keyboard software allowing easy, logical input of Laotian. It automatically positions vowels and tone marks as you type. Both a phonetic layout (based on the US keyboard) and a standard Laotian layout are included. Keyboard support for English and other supported Latin languages is also provided.
LaserLaotianU for Windows and LaserLaotianU 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.)
Cost: US$ 99.95 for either LaserLaotian LaotianLSU or LaserLaotian LaoSukanyaLSU, or $149.95 for LaserLaotian Professional in Unicode, which includes both fonts. Order
Please be sure you read the System Requirements for Windows or for Macintosh before ordering.

LaserLaotian in Unicode for Windows
LaserLaotian in Unicode for Windows
LaserLaotian in Unicode for Windows provides high-quality, Unicode-encoded Laotian fonts (described above) in TrueType® format for typing Laotian, plus English and other Latin-1 languages. LaserLaotian in Unicode for Windows includes four keyboard layouts that provide four-characters-per-key input (instead of the normal two) in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP.
- The LaotianLSU Translit keyboard layout is a transliterated keyboard arrangement, with the Laotian letters matched by sound as far as possible to the US keyboard.
- The LaotianLSU Standard keyboard layout is a standard Laotian layout.
- The EnglishLS OT keyboard layout allows the user to type English and other western Latin-based languages easily, in applications that support OpenType features for Latin. (This includes Microsoft Office 2013, 2010, 2007 and 2003, LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org, and InDesign CS4 or newer.) The user types a letter, then the accent, and the keyboard software adds the accent, perfectly positioned. This keyboard allows the user to toggle from either of the LaotianLS keyboards into the EnglishLS OT keyboard and type English, French, German, Spanish, etc., without changing fonts.
- The EnglishLS keyboard layout allows the user to type English and other western Latin-based languages easily, using deadkey input, in applications that support Laotian, but which do not support OpenType features for Latin. (This includes Microsoft Word 2002 and Word 2000.) 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 LaotianLS keyboards into the EnglishLS keyboard and type English, French, German, Spanish, etc., without changing fonts.
Windows System Requirements:
