Preparing a Computer running Mac OS-X for Tibetan Editing

Tibetan Unicode enabling Mac OS-X

Mac OS-X introduced Tibetan Unicode support with OS-X version 10.5.

To install a Tibetan keyboard, check Tibetan Input Method for Mac OS-X.

Mac OS-X already contains two Tibetan Unicode fonts.

Font incompatibilities with Windows and Linux

Unfortunately OS-X currently still uses a different way to render scripts, so that many existing Tibetan Unicode fonts do not render correctly on Mac OS-X. OS-X 10.5 supports Wylie and other Tibetan input methods.

A description of how Mac Tibetan fonts work on Mac and Windows can be found here: Platform Independent Tibetan Unicode Font.
