WRITING SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY (FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE NON-ROMAN SCRIPT INITIATIVE)

WSTech is a department of  SIL International, whose task is to provide
assistance, research and development for SIL International and its partners to
support the use of non-Roman and complex scripts in language development.

Our vision is that language communities are effectively using their preferred
writing system on computers without technical barriers.

Google Web Fonts

 Andika,  Gentium Basic,  Scheherazade and  Lateef are now available for use on
web pages via the  Google Web Fonts service! This makes it very easy for you to
use on your website. For more information on this and other ways to use SIL
fonts on web sites see Using SIL Fonts on Web Pages.


RECENT ADDITIONS AND UPDATES

Note

The following list is no longer kept up-to-date. For the most recent information
follow the links from our new  Writing Systems Technology pages.

SIL Corporate PUA Assignments Lorna Evans, 2021-08-16
Reference information on Unicode private-use character assignments used within
SIL International. Revised for Unicode 14.0

Ukelele John Brownie, 2019-09-05
Ukelele is a Unicode keyboard layout editor for Mac OS X versions 10.2 and
later. The latest beta release version, 3.4b2, is available for download, and
can be used on Mac OS X 10.9 and later. The previous stable releases of Ukelele,
version 3.3 (for macOS 10.9 and later), version 3.2.7 (for Mac OS X 10.8 and

FontUtils Martin Hosken, Bob Hallissy, Alan Ward, David Raymond, 2016-09-08
The FontUtils package provides a plethora of command line tools for manipulating
TrueType fonts. These tools are essential to NRSI's font development processes.

SIL Corporate PUA Assignments Lorna Evans, 2021-08-16
Reference information on Unicode private-use character assignments used within
SIL International. Revised for Unicode 14.0

 Padauk 4.000 has just been released.

Unicode 8.0 Latin and Cyrillic characters – sorted Lorna Evans, 2016-04-05
PDF documents with tables of Latin and Cyrillic characters from Unicode 8.0
sorted in Unicode Collation Algorithm default order. Useful for finding
characters in Unicode.

Smith Martin Hosken, 2016-01-19
Smith is a framework to help build fonts and keyboards.

SILConverters 4.0 Bob Eaton, Mark Penny, 2015-08-14
This package provides tools through which you can change the encoding, font,
and/or script of text in Microsoft Word and other Office documents, XML
documents, and SFM text and lexicon documents. It also installs a system-wide
repository to manage your encoding converters and transliterators (TECkit, CC,
ICU, Perl, or Python-based, as well as support for adding custom transduction
engines).

 Andika New Basic 5.500 — Andika New Basic is a limited-character-set (no
extended IPA or Cyrillic) version of Andika that includes regular, bold, italic
and bold-italic faces. Andika New Basic gives a preview of what a whole range of
new weights will eventually look like.

 SIL Font Subsets — SIL's Writing Sysytems Technology team has created very
comprehensive fonts for Latin and Cyrillic character sets. These are very large
fonts that cover just about every need we know about in the Latin and Cyrillic
world. Now, as we move into the age of mobile phone and web usage, everyone
wants fonts that are small and compact. Our fonts are over a megabyte each and
that is considered much too large for mobile phone usage. We have now created
subsets of our fonts for different regions of the world. Each regional font only
contains the characters (and glyphs) that are known to be used in that region of
the world. We have attempted to use the most common glyph required for that
region.

ShiShan NRSI Team, 2014-06-20
The ShiShan fonts provide support for all Miao (Pollard) characters which are in
Unicode 6.1.

Roman Script to Arabic Script Conversion NRSI staff, 2013-04-25
The SIL Converters software provide the framework to convert your texts from
Roman script to Arabic script. This document is not a manual of SIL Converters
or the TECkit mapping language but attempts to highlight some principles that
need to be considered when converting text from Roman script to Arabic script.

 New and improved Graphite website! Most recently: Version 4.2 of the Graphite
compiler has been released for Windows, and Firefox 11+ now includes Graphite
support.

Unicode BMP Fallback Font Bob Hallissy, 2012-03-26
Intended for debugging, this font contains a glyph for every character in the
Basic Multilingual plane (including Private Use Area) of Unicode 6.1, each glyph
consisting of a box enclosing the four hex digits identifying the Unicode scalar
value.

Encore2Unicode update for Unicode 6.1.
Encore2Unicode is a command-line utility for Windows that can examine a font
built using the Encore font system and create a draft TECkit mapping table for
converting data using that font to (and back from) Unicode.

Unicode Character Properties Excel Workbook Peter Constable, Bob Hallissy, and
Bobby de Vos, 2021-12-14
Various files from the Unicode Character Database compiled into a spreadsheet
(Excel and LibreOffice Calc) workbook.

Using SIL Fonts on Web Pages Victor Gaultney, 2016-10-11
SIL fonts can be successfully used on web pages. There are many strategies
available, and some tricks to making them work well.

Basic Set of characters needed in a Non-Roman font NRSI team, 2010-12-09

ARTICLES OF GENERAL INTEREST

The NRSI Model for Implementing Writing Systems Melinda Lyons, Victor Gaultney,
2001-07-04
Over its short history, the Non-Roman Script Initiative of SIL International has
developed a model for using computers to implement the various writing systems
that are needed for text input, storage, processing, and output.

The Digital Divide Alan Conner, 2001-01-01
SIL chartered the Non-Roman Script Initiative (NRSI) to enable ethnic minorities
to bridge the digital divide. NRSI participates in the work of the Unicode
Consortium, an international nonprofit founded to establish a universal standard
for representing each character of all the world's writing systems on the
computer.

An introduction to keyboard layout design theory: What goes where? Martin
Hosken, 2003-02-17
Designing a keyboard layout is relatively easy: you just allocate codepoints to
keystrokes. The difficulty comes when trying to decide what codepoints to assign
to what keystrokes. Do you design based around the characters on the keytops of
a user's keyboard or the relative position of the keys? What do you do if you
want to be able to type more characters than there are keys in your keyboard?

Glossary Melinda Lyons, et al., 2001-09-01
A glossary of terms associated with implementing writing systems compiled by the
NRSI.
