aue noho`i e, the pages are updated frequently so it may be hard to find!
Here is what I did to use the Hawaiian fonts instead of the MS (unicode) fonts:
--created a "stuff" file on my desktop
--downloaded the font file by following the maze from:
--http://www.olelo.hawaii.edu/eng/resources/fonts.html
--click on the Download HI Windows Fonts link at the bottom of the page,
http://www.olelo.hawaii.edu/eng/resources/win.html
--click on the Hawaiian fonts for Windows at the bottom of the page,
http://www.olelo.hawaii.edu/eng/resources/winfonts.html
--then clicked on the Download Hawaiian TrueType Fonts for Windows link:
which took me to http://www.olelo.hawaii.edu/eng/resources/winfonts.html#dlfonts
--clicked on the link there to Download Hawaiian TrueType Fonts for Windows (HTTP) --downloaded to: desktop/stuff folder
Then I:
--opened my "stuff" file,
--clicked on "pc_fonts"
--chose "extract all files"
--chose "browse" and specified c:\windows\fonts
--"next"
--"finish"
Then I opened word and checked if the Hawaiian fonts were in my fonts list.
Here is how I use the fonts for vowels with the kahako:
press shift+ctrl+; (shift key AND control key AND semi-colon key TOGETHER)
then release and press the desired vowel; to get a capital letter, press shift+vowel
example: shift+ctrl+; o = o with kahako
shift+ctrl+; O = O with kahako
For the `okina, I use the single diacritical marking (`) which is on the same key as the tilde (~).
For Occasional Typing of Hawaiian Diacriticals
In order to type and print the `okina and vowels with the kahako, you have two choices. If you only need to type one of these characters infrequently, then you could use the existing keyboard mapping in Microsoft Word. To do this simply follow the instructions below.
1. Launch Microsoft Word 97.
2. Select one of the HI fonts from the Font popup menu on the Word Toolbar. (graphic at right)
3. To type the `okina, press and hold the Control key and press the apostrophe key ( ' ). Then release both keys and press the apostrophe key one more time. The correct character for the `okina - the single, open quote - will appear.
4. To type the kahako, press and hold down the Control and Shift keys simultaneously, and press the semi colon key ( ; ). Release these keys, and then type the vowel that you want to have the kahako appear over. If you want the upper case vowel with kahako, hold down the shift key as you type the vowel.
