LaserPunjabi Fonts – Now Available in a Unicode-Encoded Version! |
for Windows |
for Macintosh |
Welcome to LaserPunjabi in Unicode for Windows and Macintosh (hereafter LaserPunjabiU). Our Punjabi font, used since 1993 by scholars and publishers world-wide is now available in a Unicode-encoded version. This exciting product includes the PunjabiLSU Unicode-encoded TrueType® font supporting the Gurmukhi (Gurumukhi) script, for typing the Punjabi language. The font also supports English and other west European Latin-1 languages, so you can type Punjabi and English (etc.) without changing fonts. PunjabiLSU is provided in plain (regular), bold, italic, and bold-italic typestyles.
LaserPunjabiU includes keyboard software allowing easy, logical input of Punjabi. It easily creates conjuncts, and automatically positions vowels and diacritical marks as you type. The phonetic layout places the consonants and vowels on the US keyboard phonetically as much as possible, while the traditional keyboard follows the Punjabi traditional layout. Keyboard support for English and other supported Latin languages is also provided.
LaserPunjabiU for Windows and LaserPunjabiU 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.
Cost: US$ 99.95 Order

LaserPunjabi in Unicode for Windows
LaserPunjabi in Unicode for Windows provides a high-quality, Unicode-encoded Punjabi font (described above) in TrueType® OpenType® format for typing Punjabi, plus English and other Latin-1 languages. LaserPunjabi in Unicode for Windows includes three keyboard layouts that provide four-characters-per-key input (instead of the normal two) in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000.
The PunjabiLSU Phonetic keyboard layout is a transliterated keyboard arrangement, with the Punjabi consonants and vowels placed on the US keyboard phonetically as much as possible.
The PunjabiLSU Traditional keyboard layout is a traditional Punjabi layout.
The EnglishLS keyboard layout allows the user to type English and other western Latin-based languages easily, using deadkey input, in Unicode-compatible applications. 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 PunjabiLSU keyboards into the EnglishLS keyboard and type English, French, German, Spanish, etc., without changing fonts.
