SIL Vai Font Documentation

Note:

These fonts are still custom (legacy) 8-bit fonts. They are not Unicode fonts. We do not recommend that you use the SIL Vai font. However, we do provide links to some Unicode resources below:

Unicode Fonts: — Two Vai Unicode fonts are available here. Dukor is based on SIL Vai. Windows 7 provides a Unicode font with Vai support called Ebrima.
Unicode Keyboards: — A Windows Keyman keyboard is available here: Known Unicode Keyman Keyboards. A MacOSX keyboard is available here.
TECkit mapping files for converting SIL Vai text to Unicode are provided here.

The SIL Vai Fonts package includes 4 fonts:

SIL Vai Regular
SIL Vai Bold
SIL Vai Extras Regular
SIL Vai Extras Bold
