Quick Tutorial in writing with the Gujarati Fonts If you are a Gujarati literature enthusiast and have a favourite poem of yours, then please use these fonts and type it up and e-mail it to me at and I shall feature it in my favourite poems collection with due credit given to you!

If you are a Classic user and know how to set up TrueType fonts, please let me know and I shall include the necessary documentation here.Įver since I saw multilingual fonts being supported by the TrueType Font system since the days of Windows 3.1, I had nurtured a desire to have a simple easy-to-use font mapping that would allow me to type using Gujarati script but using English phonetics. However, I do know that TrueType fonts are supported on Classic. For Classic or OS 9/8/7 users, you're on your own. To use the fonts on Mac OS X, simply copy the Saumil_guj2.ttf file to your /Library/Fonts directory.
Mac users: update I have recently switched to the Macintosh. Linux users: Install the TTF file in your /usr/share/fonts directory, or your preferred path for TrueType fonts. Windows users: copy it into your \WINDOWS\Fonts or \WINNT\Fonts folder In order to view Gujarati Fonts on your browser, download the file Saumil_guj2.ttf.
