BabelStone Tibetan is a Unicode Tibetan font. It is a modification
|
|
and extension of the Jomolhari font. Jomolhari is a Bhutanese style
|
|
calligraphic uchen Tibetan script font.
|
|
|
|
BabelStone Tibetan is based on Jomolhari Version alpha 0.003c 2006,
|
|
which is quite old, and so does not include sixteen characters added
|
|
to the Tibetan block in Unicode versions 5.1 (2008), 5.2 (2009) and
|
|
6.0 (2010). BabelStone Tibetan adds support for these sixteen
|
|
characters, and also extends the font to cover many additional stack
|
|
clusters, including non-standard clusters that are used for writing
|
|
Tibetan shorthand contractions and some unusual clusters that were
|
|
used for transcribing Tangut.
|
|
|
|
BabelStone Tibetan has an extremely large line height in order to
|
|
allow for very high and deep stacks found in some religious texts.
|
|
BabelStone Tibetan Slim is almost exactly the same as BabelStone
|
|
Tibetan, but has a small line height; it is suitable for ordinary
|
|
modern Tibetan text, but some stacks for Sanskrit may be cropped at
|
|
the top and/or bottom.
