LaserGujarati in Unicode for Windows and Macintosh
LaserGujarati® in Unicode™ for Windows® or Macintosh® provides a professional-quality Unicode-encoded Gujarati font in TrueType® OpenType® format, in plain, bold, italic, and bold-italic weights, for typing Gujarati, English, and other west European languages. The GujaratiLSU™ font contains hundreds of conjuncts including composite and half-form. The product includes a phonetic keyboard layout for easy, intuitive input of consonants, vowels, and conjuncts. The keyboard layout places the consonants and vowels on the US keyboard phonetically as much as possible, and provides four characters per key (instead of the normal two) for easy input of Gujarati.
Conjuncts are formed by simply typing the "a" key between consonants.
Vowels are positioned automatically as you type.
The font also makes the complete alphabet and conjuncts with preceding or succeeding "ra".
See below for additional samples.
LaserGujarati in Unicode is available for both Windows and Macintosh.
LaserGujarati in Unicode for Windows
LaserGujarati in Unicode for Windows
LaserGujarati in Unicode for Windows includes two keyboard layouts that provide four characters per key (instead of the normal two) for easy, intuitive input of Gujarati, English, west European, and other supported languages, using Microsoft Word 2013, 2010, 2007, or 2003, InDesign CS4 or newer (with installation of World Tools or ScribeDOOR), in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, or 2000 SP3, or the free LibreOffice or OpenOffice word processors in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, or XP. The keyboard layouts take advantage of the OpenType layout features built into the fonts for logical, intuitive input.
System Requirements:
Operating Systems
Requires Windows 10, 8, Windows 10, 8, 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 or newer.
Applications
Requires Microsoft Word 2013, 2010, 2007 or 2003 (or another component of Office 2010, 2007, or 2003), InDesign CS4 or newer (with the installation of World Tools or ScribeDOOR), or the free LibreOffice or OpenOffice word processors.
No earlier version of Word (2002/2000/97/95/6), and no version of WordPerfect (tested through version 12) support this product.
QuarkXPress, Framemaker, and PageMaker do not support Gujarati. (QuarkXPress 7.0 or newer is Unicode-compatible, but does not support the OpenType features of these fonts. Version 8.02 was tested and does not support Gujarati.)
The free word processors in LibreOffice and OpenOffice do not support Gujarati in Windows 2000, but do fully support Gujarati in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP.
Word 2003 supports Gujarati in Windows 2000 only.
These fonts include OpenType tables for proper positioning of characters and creation of conjuncts. Applications which will work properly will include or support a version of the Windows Uniscribe Unicode script processor (usp10.dll) that supports Gujarati.
Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 is not compatible with LaserGujarati 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 LaserGujarati fonts.
Notes
The fonts will print to any Windows printer at the highest quality allowed by your printer.
These fonts are compatible with the Macintosh version of LaserGujarati in Unicode. No conversion of files is necessary when transferring files between Windows and Macintosh, if LaserGujarati in Unicode fonts are installed on both systems. (At this time only the word processor Mellel for Macintosh supports Gujarati on the Mac.)
