Home » BuddhaNet File Library: Pali Fonts in PC and Macintosh Format
Please Note: These files have been zipped, you will need Win-Zip or something similar to open them.
These are TYPE I Fonts and are the preferred fonts.
This collection of modified Pali Type 1 fonts have been made available after other Pali modified Type 1 fonts were found to be unusable or unsuitable. The fonts follow the CSX convention – there is more about this in the readme.txt in each font family zip file.
You are welcome to E-mail Phil Thompson with questions on Pali fonts – PC platform only. PDFs on this page will explain how to make MS Word Macros for Pali characters
