Introduction
གླེང་བརྗོད༎
Over the years a number of Tibetan fonts have been ‘freely’available on the web. Unfortunately, most sites listing Tibetan fontsonly provide links to the original provider of the font, many of whichhave since been removed or obfuscated. Moreover, several commonfonts are only available as Windows .exe files, making it difficult toload them on Mac or Linux computers. Together, these factors make itnearly impossible to obtain the proper legacy Tibetan fonts needed toread certain Tibetan-language websites.
Monlam-lobsangmonlam: www.tibetangeeks.com. Tibetangeeks.com Monlambodyig-v.3-fontsonly: Right-click on the links to download. These.ttf files can be used in any system (Windows, Mac, Linux) — just drop them in your fonts folder. Look at most relevant Free monlam bod yig 3 websites out of 3.61 Thousand at KeywordSpace.com.

If all sites were already using Unicode for Tibetan, we wouldn’thave this problem; any Tibetan font could be used in place of the fontintended on the site. But sadly, the day when everyone has switched toUnicode still seems far far away.
This site provides all known ‘semi-free’ Tibetan fonts I have beenable to obtain, and all fonts necessary to be able to read websites ordocuments in particular legacy encodings, for direct download. This ismeant purely as a service to the Tibetan-language community andparticularly to Tibetans.
Legacy Fonts
ཨང་སྒྲིག་རྙིང་པའི་ཡིག་གཟུགས༎
The following fonts are made available as .zip files. Recentversions of Windows can directly read zip files without anyadditional software. Once you download these files you will need tocopy the fonts inside the zip files (not the zip files themselves) tothe Windows fonts folder (usually C:WindowsFonts). Ifyou’re not using Windows but another operating system you probablyalready know what to do.
Unicode Fonts

The main purepose of this page is to facilitate obtaining the rarelegacy fonts needed to read various websites, but I am also providingsome Unicode fonts, which should be used for all new content inTibetan.
Input Methods/Keyboards
གློག་ཀླད་ནང་ཏུ་བོད་ཡིག་བླུག་པའི་ཐབས་ཤེས༎
This site is aimed at providing the actual font files, not anyparticular software for inputting Tibetan text. Tibetan input softwareis available from a number of other sites, but most of it is tied toparticular legacy fonts.

For Unicode Tibetan, Windows Vista provides a Tibetan keyboardconfiguration, and several keyboards and input methods are availablefor Windows XP and older versions of Windows as well. In the future Iwill provide another page detailing how to obtain and installthese.
