Adobe supplies a Unicode OpenType version of TektonPro with InDesign 1.5, but it does not support the keyboard drivers in the Language Kits, and so the characters not in MacRoman can only be entered from the Insert Character. Microsoft supplies a Macintosh Unicode version of the Tahoma font (containing around 1000 characters) with Word 98, but the only characters that Word 98 can display using Tahoma are those in the MacRoman character set. However, very few applications can make use of Unicode fonts: the Web browser Opera 6 can use Unicode resource-fork fonts, the editors WorldText (supplied with Mac OS 9.1), MLTE Demo and SUE can use Windows Unicode fonts, and the desk-top publisher Adobe InDesign can utilise Macintosh Unicode fonts.Īpple supplies some Macintosh Unicode fonts with Mac OS 9.
Unicode support was introduced to the Macintosh with Mac OS 8.5, including the ability to utilise not only Macintosh Unicode fonts, but also data-fork Windows Unicode fonts such as Arial Unicode MS.
