STEDT Font for Windows

Welcome to the first beta version of STEDT Font for Windows.

This is the first beta release of STEDT Font for Windows. This Windows TrueType font (TTF) is compatible with the present Macintosh release (5.1.2) of STEDT Font, in terms of the encoding of the "Reflex" and "Gloss" fields of the STEDT databases.

Download STEDT Font for Windows

• If your computer is running a version of the Windows operating system 3.1 or later, please download this TTF7.zip ZIP archive.
• Decompress the downloaded ZIP archive, if it is not decompressed automatically upon download.
• When decompressed, the result is a file named "STEDT___.TTF" (without the quotes).
• Install the resulting "STEDT___.TTF" TrueType font (installation instructions below).

• STEDT___.TTF for Windows PC is encoded as a sequentially-ordered symbol font.
• This means that extended ASCII (Dec 128-255) characters are accessed on the keyboard by typing the ALT+0XXX key combination.
• "XXX" here stands for any three digit decimal number in the range (128-255).
• To find the decimal value of a given character, please consult either of the two files DECCHAR.txt or STEDTwin.pdf mentioned above.
• Note that pre-struck diacritics are identified in STEDTwin.pdf as having "Width: 0" (zero-width).
• For entry of special characters, you may find it easier to use a utility such as the free KeyMan 3.2, available from SIL. The latest version of the KeyMan program is a commercial product, available here.
• If you use any version of KeyMan (or any other keyboard utility) with STEDT___.TTF, please let us know.

Instructions for Beta Testers

• After installation, download this DECCHAR.txt text file (save it "as source" on your hard drive) and open it in any word processor (not in your web browser).
• Setting the font to STEDT, characters should display and print as in the following PDF map.
• Download this STEDTwin.pdf PDF file (save it "as source" on your hard drive) and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
• The number in parentheses in the STEDTwin.pdf map is the decimal character value.
• The corresponding decimal character value is in the left hand column of the DECCHAR.txt text file.
• Where a (gray) block in the PDF map has no character, this character is undefined in Windows (two asterisks in the DECCHAR.txt file).
• Please print out both files, and compare the results.
• If you note any discrepancies, please print your DECCHAR.txt file to PDF, embedding the STEDT___.TTF font, and send the PDF to STEDT.
