Testing...

We have Windows keyboards!
-mostly undocumented, not linked to a website yet, but available for installing and use if you understand your control panel's language settings. Email me if you feel brave. The keyboard programs are completely free, thanks to Chris Harvey, the languagegeek. We tested on a range of machines at our display at the Languages Symposium in Yellowknife last week. A handful of people brought their computers to have the keyboards installed and more brought flash drives to take the files home.

No Keyboard? Not a problem. Just navigate to Dene Languages Literacy and type some Dene language text into the window. Then Copy and Paste to your email, document or text chat. The default is the Vowel-first WinMac layout for all languages, but you can experiment with non-WinMac layouts specific to your languages. Just pay attention to where the tones and nasals are.

DeneFonts are not about fonts anymore. Vista and Windows 7 owners can use the fonts installed from the factory for Dene Languages if they have the right keyboard. (Windows XP users will need to download a Unicode font from the languagegeek to get all the characters, and some web applications may not let them choose that font.)

Mac users - Sorry, I still haven't tested the latest Mac fonts but expect they will comply as well. Chris says he has the Mac keyboards nearly ready.
