#Fonts for mac and pc install#
And the process to install is you just install it from a windows install disk through crossover.
It provides a windows environment that enables many, but not all, windows programs to run on a mac. With crossover you do not actually have to install Windows on your Mac. It is a commercial version of a Linux program called Wine. But on a Mac computer there are many ways that you can run windows programs and folio is a simple windows program that can be run in any of the ways that the Mac supports for running windows programs. Please let me know by commenting on this post if you have any problems installing this font on your Mac computer, etc.įolio is a Windows program and there is no Mac version of Folio. I will check the other fonts also used by Bhaktivedanta Archives in their Folio Vedabase and include them here also as Mac font families soon.Ĭlick the following link to download the Balaram font family for Mac: But anyhow I have created a Mac Balaram Font family which you can just click on and that will very easily and painlessly install the Balaram font on any Mac computer running OSX.

This font utility is available at:Īnyhow, I have recently become a “Mac person” and just yesterday I noticed that you can not install the Balaram font on Apple Mac computers. Of course the character encoding is quite different but Pratyatosa Prabhu has provided us with a nice utility to convert the Balaram format fonts to Unicode and the Unicode or UTF-8 format back to the Balaram format.
In more recent years, since the introduction of Unicode fonts which can store a practically unlimited number of characters in them, now we have standard unicode codes for all of the Sanskrit diacritical characters and many fonts are supporting the Diacritical marks now.
This font was produced by replacing some of the European characters with the Western characters plus the diacritical marks. Actually they have many other fonts, all based on the same character encoding as the Balaram font. I do not know if devotees with Mac computers are able to install the Balaram font, which is the font that is used by Bhaktivedanta Archives in their Bhaktivedanta Vedabase.
