Ok, I think its better for me to show you all the macron glyphs (including the composite glyphs) and dot below glyphs that I would like to place them in my keyboard. There are 1- āĀ ūŪ īĪ + Ng, Ny, Th, Ts, Kh, Dz, Dh, Sh, Sy, Gh, ng, ny, th, ts, kh, dz, dh, sh, sy and gh (all of the composite glyphs...

Afternoon Bhikkhu Pesala. I tried what you said, but it does not work. The shift key does not bring the a or A macron or any other macron single letters (also the macron composite glyps such the dz with macron) - I assigned the macron at "tilde" button. I even also tried to assign dot belo...

Afternoon Van and thank you for the information. I dont have the Inuktitut-Naqittaut keyboard layout - its not in my computer, it just has Inuktitut Latin. Just now, I tried to surf the related website: http://www.kbdedit.com/manual/file_register_layout_dll_file.html, but dont find the keyboard? don...

Ok, it sounds ok to me, I'll try it tonight. Upsss... Dave Crosby, thanks for your reply- I forgot to mention it, very sorry (I was too focused on what on the Bhikkhu Pesala said), but Dave Crosby, I tried to follow exactly the Times New Roman (TNR) style - many times, but it does not work. In fact,...

Afternoon Vanisaac and thank you very much for the reply. I have to study what you wrote. Fyi, I am not a programmer and I quite dont understand these things: 1- "is to define the characters in the two SG Caps states": what do you mean by SG Caps states? 2- what the Inuktitut-Naqittaut key...

Thank you Bhikkhu Pesala. Ok, I have to study what you wrote. Could tell me more about the way you assign the macron as dead keys and what is the dead key actually for? Is it possible for me to make a long macron on the top of 2 combined letters such as what you did: ā ē ī ō ū ḡ Ā .. Ḡ

Afternoon Bhikkhu Pesala and thank you very much for your reply. Ok, for the 2nd problem: I solved the thing - its caused by conflicting names. I will try to follow what you said on how to upload the image later on. However, the 1st problem is still there: I did try with a separate typeface with thi...

Dear friends. I have two problems: 1- How to make a macron to be at the top of a letter automatically. 2- I have some new Latin combined letters that I invented for my usage such “dz”, “Gh”, “sh”, etc. These letters need a macron to be at the top of them. So how could I put the macron on them and is...

Dear all. I have tried to assign my new letters using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, the main problem is I cannot assign them other than normal keys and shift keys? I cannot alter anything in the normal keyboard because I also use all the Latin characters. So the choice left to me is to make use...

Dear all. I am working on a new font called Asar Fonts, well its comprised of some fonts that frequently used by me, i.e. Times New Roman (with some additional Arabic transliteration letters) & Traditional Arabic (with additional Jawi letters) fonts. The font goes smooth and I can see the differ...

I found your earlier thread under a different username. It is hard for us to help with Arabic fonts. Currently, you need to use 3rd party software to add OpenType features. Is use OpenType Compiler as I find it much easier than VOLT. Try Format, Settings, Ranges, Calculate Unicode ranges and code-p...
