SIL Vai Font Features

Lorna A. Priest, 2004-07-02; 3958 reads

Note

These fonts are still custom (legacy) 8-bit fonts. They are not Unicode fonts. 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.

These fonts include a complete set of Vai consonants and vowels, along with punctuation, arabic numerals, and other useful symbols. There are no Roman characters (a-z) in these fonts. More details can be found in the documentation The Vai Syllabary.
