Aujaq Fonts & Aujaq-titut Keyboard
Nunavut Inuktitut Truetype Syllabic Fonts for the Macintosh®


Introduction

Aujaq Fonts are based on the Mac Roman table and therefore only work properly on the Mac. They can be used to type both Syllabics and Roman when used with the Aujaq-titut keyboard in Mac OS 7+. They do work with Apple Systems 6 and 7 keyboards but the Syllabic characters will be disabled. Aujaq-titut keyboard uses CAPS LOCK key to switch back and forth between the Syllabic and Roman "modes". CAPS LOCK ON (IN) for Syllabics and CAPS LOCK OFF (OUT) for Roman.

Aujaq Fonts have one problem in Microsoft Word 6 and up. One symbol cannot be displayed properly. It appears as a box but it prints properly though. This seems to be a Microsoft Word 6+ issue as it does not happen in any other application. In Mac OSX the syllabics in Aujaq appear and print properly but it is not possible to make an input method yet (keyboard layout). Aujaq Fonts and Aujaq-titut keyboard still work very well under OS 7, 8 & 9 with "Mac Roman table" friendly applications other than MSWord like Appleworks, QuarkXpress, even MSExcel, etc.

Aujaq-titut Keyboard

Aujaq Fonts can be used to type both Syllabics and Roman using Aujaq-titut keyboard. Aujaq-titut has a similar layout as Naamajut in System 6 with some improvements. CAPS LOCK key is used to switch between the Syllabics and Roman "modes". CAPS LOCK key must be ON (IN) for Syllabics and OFF (OUT) for Roman. The OPTION key or the APOSTROPHE key can be used to get the dotted characters. New symbols have also been added that are not in Naamajut. See the Aujaq-titut Keyboard layout below for the new characters and other improvements.
