Zhang Zhung Fonts

The following OpenType Unicode fonts for Zhang Zhung scripts are available for free download :



As Zhung Zhung scripts are not yet encoded in Unicode, this font is mapped to the Tibetan block, and characters may be entered using any Tibetan input method. The font should render correctly on systems that suport Tibetan shaping (e.g. Windows Vista). However, note that whilst the font has full support for native Tibetan stacks it only has limited support for complex stacks used for Sanskrit.



All BabelStone fonts are free for personal or commercial use, and have no licensing restrictions. However, if you do want to support development of further fonts for obscure scripts you are welcome to make a small donation (£5 or $10 or equivalent suggested) via PayPal.

Below each image is a screenshot of the same text as rendered under Windows XP (using Uniscribe 1.0606.5112.0) and the BabelStone Tibetan sMar-chen font.
