Legacy Fonts and Keyboards

Lorna A Priest, 2003-09-24

Note:

This page is now obsolete. It is provided for historical information. For using the Keyman program, please go to the  Keyman site. Most of these keyboards are now available for Unicode from the  https://keyman.com/ site.

SIL Legacy Keyman Keyboards and fonts

The fonts and keyboards on this page are considered "legacy" solutions. As such, they are made available for use and downloading.

 Unicode solutions are encouraged and are being developed for fonts and keyboards. Also available for some legacy systems are mapping files to convert data encoded in a legacy font to Unicode.

Africa

SIL Mali

There are two separate solutions for the Mali Standard font, one for the Qwerty and the other for the Azerty (French) keyboard. The MaliStdQwerty.zip file contains the 'English' keyboarding solution for the Qwerty keyboard. The Mali-Clavier.zip file contains the 'French' keyboarding solution for the Azerty keyboard.

Each of these .zip files contains the following files:

  • Font files (latest version of the Mali Standard font)
  • A Keyman redistributable .exe file for installing Keyman 6.0, the fonts and the keyboarding solution.
  • Installation guide
  • Utilization guide, including a keyboarding chart
