-------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a set of files for typsetting Tibetan using TeX I started with the latextibetan package (see below). This included - pk300 fonts (tib and tibsp) - a prefilter program tfilt in c (source) You write a text file name.tib, then run tfilt on it to get name.tex, which you then tex and etc normally. I made substantial modifications to the filter program to fix bugs and add features (e.g. various sanscrit letters, different sized fonts). I also took the pk files, used GNU font utilities to create .mf files so that the fonts can be made at any desired scale. I also cleaned up the fonts a bit. I added a unix script ttex, which automates the filtering/texing/dvi2ps process. I greatly expanded the tibdef.tex include file. The file boxes.tex can also be used to get various borders. I've had no success in contacting anyone who made the original program/fonts. -------------------------------------------------------------------- To install, - unpack the files in their appropriate directories, - type make in the src directory (modifying the makefile if you want) - build the pk files you want from .mf files (as per usual for TeX and the mf program [add mf instructions here]) - modify ttex for the location of the tfilt program. Then try out the examples mani.tib etc. Good luck!

It provides a LaTeX front-end for writing modern Tibetan. Directions are in the file called instruct (in the ps/instruct.ps file). -------------------------------------------------------------------- From the latextibetan c source code: Copyright 1987 Jeff Sparkes Department of Computer Science Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John's, Nfld. garfield!jeff1, jeff1@garfield.mun.cdn Permission is granted to distribute and/or modify this code, provided this copyright notice remains intact.
