Amharic Font and Keyboard Download and Installation Instructions...
Abyssinica SIL Font
AbyssinicaSIL supports all Ethiopic characters which are in Unicode including the Unicode 4.1 extensions. Some languages of Ethiopia are not yet able to be fully represented in Unicode and, where necessary, we have included non-Unicode characters in the Private Use Area.
This package contains the same files as AbyssinicaSIL1.0.zip plus a Windows and other Keyman keyboard.
This keyboard was developed for keyboarding the Ethiopic Script. For guidelines on who can use Keyman and for downloading, go to: http://www.tavultesoft.com. The “Abyssinica SIL Unicode” keyboard is designed to work with the Abyssinica SIL font which is a part of this package. Unless you need to use the Private Use Area (PUA) characters in this font you can use this keyboard with any Ethiopic Unicode font.
If you download this package, you must have Keyman already installed. You can just double-click AbyssinicaSILKeymanKbd.kmp to install the keyboard package and font. Once installed, documentation can be found at Start / All Programs / Abyssinica SIL Unicode.
This keyboard layout for Mac OS X supports the same key sequences for Unicode Ethiopic and Private Use Area characters as the Keyman package above. Mac OS X version 10.2 or later is required to use this layout (version 10.4 is recommended). See the ReadMe file in the archive for further information.
