TransRoman Dictionary in Unicode for Windows and Macintosh has just been released. This Unicode-encoded version of our older TransRoman Dictionary product is available in two typestyles (Times- and Helvetica-styles). The fonts are TrueType (OpenType) fonts containing common dictionary pronunciation symbols used in the Merriam Webster® Dictionary, the Webster's New World Dictionary®, the Oxford English Dictionary, the Oxford English Dictionary , 2nd Ed., and the OED CD version. In addition, the fonts include the accents and other diacritics supporting Western European Latin-based languages, many American Indian languages, and many African languages. The product includes two keyboard layouts for easy input of the letters, diacritics, and other special symbols in any Unicode-compatible application. Be sure to see the extensive samples.
LaserIban for Windows and Macintosh has been released. Now you can type Iban text with the beautiful character set designed by Dunging Gunggu in any Windows or Macintosh application. LaserIban™ includes four IbanLS™ fonts (plain, bold, italic, and bold-italic) in both TrueType® and Type 1 PostScript® font formats. The Iban character shapes were designed by Dunging Gunggu, and have been developed into fonts by Linguist's Software under the direction of Dr. Bromeley Philip (Senior Lecturer, UiTM Sarawak, Malaysia). The set of characters, technically a syllabary, contains the sounds for writing the Iban language.
LaserHebrew in Unicode for Windows and Macintosh has been upgraded. These are the only fonts available today which reproduce all forms, properly positioned, that occur in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia/Leningrad Codex. The new version (and the correspondingly revised Hebrew Scriptures in Unicode for Windows and Macintosh) makes the fonts compliant with new Unicode developments, automatically positions furtive patahs properly, makes typing easier and more consistent, and resolves some incompatibilities with other Unicode fonts.
Five new characters were added to all fonts in the product (except ScriptHebrewU) to bring the regular Hebrew section up to Unicode 5.1 compliance. These characters include 1) 05A2, the reversed athnach, 2) 05BA, the alternate holem for use only with vav, 3) 05C5, the lower dot, or punctum extraordinarium, 4) 05C6, the punctuation nun hafukha (reversed nun), and 5) 05C7, the qamats qatan.
A new font, NewJerusalemLU, has been added to the NewJerusalemU product set. NewJerusalemLU is like NewJerusalemU, except a “U-shaped” yerah ben yomo, the form used in the Leningrad Codex, has replaced the “V-shaped” version of that character, as used in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia.
In the Windows version of the product the fonts are now supported in Windows Vista and XP (but not Windows 2000) by OpenType.org 3 and by Lotus Symphony 1.3 (which is based on OpenOffice). Both of these products are free, downloaded from OpenOffice.org and IBM, respectively.
In addition, the Hebrew Scriptures in Unicode for Windows and Macintosh have been upgraded to support the new features of the upgraded fonts. The new (version 11.0) fonts will work with older versions of the Hebrew Scriptures, but these latest versions of the Hebrew Scriptures require the new version 11.0 fonts.
Greek New Testament and Greek Old Testament texts formatted for use with the fonts in the New Testament Manuscripts Font Collection have been released. If you have been working with the fonts representing the original hands of ancient manuscripts and inscriptions, and have needed to type Greek New Testament and/or Greek Old Testament text for your work, these two new products will make your work easier than ever. This sample shows the SinaiticusLS font; be sure to see the product pages for more samples.
LaserPunjabi in Unicode for Windows and Macintosh—LaserPunjabi in Unicode, previously available only for Macintosh, is now also available for Windows. The product includes the PunjabiLSU TrueType font in plain, bold, italic, and bold-italic weights, supporting the complete Gurmukhi (Gurumukhi) script, plus English and other west European Latin-1 languages. The product includes two software keyboard layouts—phonetic and traditional. 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. The keyboard software creates conjuncts and automatically positions vowels and diacritical marks as you type. (The Windows product also includes a special English keyboard, while the Mactintosh product works with the Macintosh English keyboard.) More information, plus font samples, are available on the product page.
LaserCambodian in Unicode for Windows has been released.

The font is provided in plain (regular), bold, italic, and bold-italic styles in TrueType® OpenType™ format for Cambodian (Khmer) and English, plus other west European Latin-1 languages. This means you can type Cambodian and English (etc.) without changing fonts. The product includes keyboard software allowing easy, logical input of Cambodian. It automatically positions vowels, tone marks, and other diacritics as you type. The keyboard arrangement is phonetic (transliterated) with the Cambodian letters matched by sound as far as possible to the US keyboard. Keyboard support for English and other supported Latin languages is also provided.
LaserLaotian in Unicode for Windows and Macintosh has been released. Two typestyles are available: LaotianLSU is a sans serif font, and LaoSukanyaLSU is a font with contrasting stroke thicknesses. Keyboard software allows easy input of Laotian. It automatically positions vowels and tone marks as you type. The fonts also support English, plus west European Latin languages, and the Windows and Macintosh products are compatible, for easy transfer of documents.

Finally, while not Hebrew, included is a related font containing the character shapes of Imperial Aramaic.

The CheyenneLSU Unicode-encoded font supports Cheyenne (Tsêhésenêstsestôtse or Tsisinstsistots), English, and western European Latin-1 languages.

A major upgrade of LaserGreek in Unicode has just been released. The Greek alphabet with underdots, used in epigraphical and textual studies and in Greek poetry, and previously included only in the OdysseaU, HellenicaU, and TeubnerLSU sets of fonts, has now been added to all fonts in the LaserGreek in Unicode product. In addition, metrical long and short marks with all breathing marks and accents have been added to the SymbolGreekU and GraecaUBSU set of fonts. These metrical notation marks were previously included only in the OdysseaU, HellenicaU, and TeubnerLSU sets of fonts. Samples of all fonts with these new featues are available on the LaserGreek in Unicode product page.
Seven new fonts have been added to the LaserGeorgian in Unicode for Windows and Macintosh product line. LaserGeorgian in Unicode now includes two fonts.

A new font, GeorgianCapsU, is a headline font in the same typestyle. A new product, LaserGeorgian Professional in Unicode, includes GeorgianLSU and GeorgianCapsU plus six additional fonts in three typestyles: MtskhetaCapsU, MtskhetaTextU, TelaviCapsU, TelaviTextU, BatumiCapsU, and BatumiTextU.

Four additional fonts allow the user to emulate texts that do not include dots on the regular consonants. The OpenType features of the fonts provide automatic contextualization of consonants and proper positioning of vowels and diacritic marks as you type. The product includes phonetically-arranged keyboard software for Arabic and for Persian. In addition, keyboard software arranged similar to the Windows and Macintosh Arabic and Persian keyboards is included.

AfroRoman, previously available only in a Times®-style, is now available in four additional typestyles: Helvetica®-, Garamond-, Palatino®-, and Zapf Chancery®-styles. The AfroRoman series of fonts enables users to type more than 1540 African languages. Because these fonts are not Unicode-encoded (as are the AfroRoman in Unicode fonts), they may be used in any application. This makes them essential for publishers who cannot produce their work in Unicode-compatible applications.

When converting to Consonantal text you can also choose to distinguish the sin and shin or to remove their dots; and 3) Convert fully-pointed LaserHebrew in Unicode text to either Vocalized text (removing accents but retaining vowels) or to Consonantal text (removing both accents and vowels).

Like all LaserGrewek and LaserGreek II fonts, the eight TeubnerLS typefaces include all 35 accents, breathing marks, iota subscripts, and diereses needed to type classical and Biblical Greek. These may be typed over any symbol in any combination.
