Padauk Font

Martin Hosken, 2007-11-12; 20605 reads

Introduction

Padauk is a fully capable Unicode 5.1 font supporting all the Myanmar characters in the standard. Thus it provides support for minority languages as well, but in a Burmese rendering style. Later versions will attempt to address this.

Requirements

Padauk includes the necessary Graphite smarts to render Myanmar script correctly. Thus if you want to use this font you will need the Graphite libraries and Graphite capable applications or graphics extensions.

Padauk also has OpenType tables which allow it to be rendered using a basic shaping engine and so allows the font to be used in such applications as Word.

License

Padauk is released under the Open Font License.
