LaserGeorgian in Unicode provides high-quality, Unicode-encoded Georgian TrueType® fonts for typing the Georgian language plus west European (Latin 1) languages. The GeorgianLSU font includes the modern Georgian secular Mkhedruli alphabet, which is caseless, and the old Georgian ecclesiastical Khutsuri alphabet (both the lowercase Nuskhuri and uppercase Asomtavruli). The font also includes additional letters to support the Mingrelian and Svan languages, plus archaic letters dropped from the Georgian alphabet in the 1860s. In addition, LaserGeorgian in Unicode includes the GeorgianCapsU font, a headline font supporting the modern secular Mkhedruli alphabet (plus Mingrelian, Svan, and the Latin languages).
LaserGeorgian Professional in Unicode includes the GeorgianLSU and GeorgianCapsU fonts, plus six additional headline fonts, in three typestyles.
LaserGeorgian in Unicode includes three software keyboard layouts that provide four characters per key (instead of the normal two) for easy, logical input of 1) the modern secular Georgian (Mkhedruli) alphabet following a phonetic layout based on the US keyboard layout; 2) the Georgian ecclesiastical (Khutsuri) alphabet, supporting both the lowercase Nuskhuri and the uppercase Asomtavruli; 3) and the modern secular Georgian (Mkhedruli) alphabet following the modern Georgian computer layout. Keyboard support for English and the other Latin 1 languages supported by the font is also provided. This makes it easy to type Georgian, English, and other west European languages in the same document using the same font by simply changing between keyboard layouts. Complete instructions are provided.

Font Samples — LaserGeorgian in Unicode
The following samples show the GeorgianLSU font included in LaserGeorgian in Unicode.
The modern secular alphabet (Mkhedruli) first appeared in the tenth century and developed into a form close to its current form by the thirteenth century. It has changed little since then. Mkhedruli is caseless.
The Georgian ecclesiastical alphabet has two forms. The uppercase Asomtavruli (also called mrglovani) was in use from the fifth to the ninth century, after which it was gradually replaced by the lowercase Nuskhuri (sometimes spelled nusxa-xucuri and also known as kutxovani), used from the ninth to the eleventh century. The uppercase and lowercase alphabets are never used together, except occasionally the Asomtavruli is used as the initial letter of sentences or paragraphs.
Asomtavruli (uppercase ecclesiastical alphabet)
Nuskhuri (lowercase ecclesiastical alphabet)
Archaic letters These letters were removed from the Georgian alphabet in the 1860s.
Additional letters for Mingrelian and Svan

- Operating Systems
- Requires Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 2000.
- Requires installation of Microsoft Windows complex script supplemental language support in Windows XP and Windows 2000. This feature is installed using your original Windows XP or 2000 CD. We provide instructions for installing it in Windows XP and 2000. The feature is already included in Windows 10, 8, 7 and Vista.
- Does not support Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95.
- Applications
- Any Unicode-compatible application, such as Microsoft Word 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003, 2002, 2000, or 97 is compatible. Adobe® InDesign® and QuarkXPress 7.0 and 8.0 are compatible. (Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 or earlier is not compatible.)
- Older, non-Unicode applications such as WordPerfect (at least through version 12), QuarkXPress (version 6.5 and earlier), Framemaker, and PageMaker (any version) do not support these fonts.
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 (included in Microsoft Office 2003) is not compatible with LaserGeorgian 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 LaserGeorgian fonts. (Earlier versions of PowerPoint have not been tested for compatibility.)

For a non-Unicode version of LaserGeorgianU, available for both Windows and Macintosh, see:
Because Unicode fonts have different encodings than non-Unicode fonts, the LaserGeorgian in Unicode font is not interchangeable with the LaserGeorgian fonts. However, both Unicode and non-Unicode fonts may be installed on your system (since they have different file and font names) and may even be used in the same documents.

Testimonials
Here's what others are saying about LaserGeorgian in Unicode:
"I like your fonts very much. One Georgian seminarian found a set of my typewritten prayers in Khutsuri to be imminently more readable than the poor-quality from publishers that often generate prayer books. Many of the special letters represented in your font are precisely what is found in the better prayer books. The Mxedruli Unicode fonts are extremely useful in transliterating from Old Georgian into Modern Georgian. Diphthongs are easily represented with the additional letters from the medieval alphabet and the images are distinctly clear on screen and on paper. Thank you for your work in the support of my work."
Fr. Theodore Niklasson, Tbilisi, Georgia
