Why should we use Microsoft Himalaya Tibetan Font? I think this question needs to be challenged with a few realities. It is detailed here.
1. Today we do have some Tibetan fonts used inside and outside of Tibet. However, the major problem is the fonts we use outside of Tibet may not be able to be viewed from any system that does not have the specific fonts.
2. The font built up and in build with the windows, I believe would be more users friendly and easy to understand the easy to work with. Microsoft is one of the software leading enterprises, and its product should be quite trust worthy.
Copy Himalaya Bold Regular font & pest into a default Windows font folder (usually C:WINDOWSFONTS or C:WINNTFONTS) For Mac users: Mac OS X 10.3 or above (including the FontBook) - Double-click Himalaya Bold Regular font file and hit 'Install font' button at the bottom of the preview. Free Foreign Tibetan fonts (.ttf &.otf). Foreign Tibetan available in Windows and Mac OS X version. TrueType and OpenType fonts. Search from a wide range of typography fonts.
3. The font used outside of Tibet has certain disadvantage, which is the font size need to be very big. I am not sure, but wonder if it is a good built up technically. Since, the basic notion it gives is the software is not a perfect one.
4. Today advanced technologies have replaced many subjects. It is good to give the best and the easiest way for others to access any kind of information you wish other people read. All possible blocks assumed should be prevented.
5. There should not be any differences between on the skill used by Tibetans inside and outside of Tibet. It should not be case that we do not understand how they work, and they do not understand how we work. Thanks for the technologies provided from Microsoft to bridge the gap.
6. To look with a bigger and wider vision, it is also good to have a comprehend system at global level, so that information published can also be accessed with global search engine. It is a good way to build up a strong community.
I would appreciate if the same system can be implemented to schools, home and all the organizations.

Introduction
གླེང་བརྗོད༎
Over the years a number of Tibetan fonts have been ‘freely’available on the web. Unfortunately, most sites listing Tibetan fontsonly provide links to the original provider of the font, many of whichhave since been removed or obfuscated. Moreover, several commonfonts are only available as Windows .exe files, making it difficult toload them on Mac or Linux computers. Together, these factors make itnearly impossible to obtain the proper legacy Tibetan fonts needed toread certain Tibetan-language websites.
If all sites were already using Unicode for Tibetan, we wouldn’thave this problem; any Tibetan font could be used in place of the fontintended on the site. But sadly, the day when everyone has switched toUnicode still seems far far away.
This site provides all known ‘semi-free’ Tibetan fonts I have beenable to obtain, and all fonts necessary to be able to read websites ordocuments in particular legacy encodings, for direct download. This ismeant purely as a service to the Tibetan-language community andparticularly to Tibetans.
Legacy Fonts
ཨང་སྒྲིག་རྙིང་པའི་ཡིག་གཟུགས༎
The following fonts are made available as .zip files. Recentversions of Windows can directly read zip files without anyadditional software. Once you download these files you will need tocopy the fonts inside the zip files (not the zip files themselves) tothe Windows fonts folder (usually C:WindowsFonts). Ifyou’re not using Windows but another operating system you probablyalready know what to do.
Unicode Fonts

The main purepose of this page is to facilitate obtaining the rarelegacy fonts needed to read various websites, but I am also providingsome Unicode fonts, which should be used for all new content inTibetan.
Input Methods/Keyboards

This site is aimed at providing the actual font files, not anyparticular software for inputting Tibetan text. Tibetan input softwareis available from a number of other sites, but most of it is tied toparticular legacy fonts.
