INUIT100.ZIP Truetype font for Inuktitut (Amerindian Eskimo)
The Amerindian Eskimo language called Inuktitut is spoken by about
100 000 Inuit people in Canada, Alaska and Greenland. It appears to
be the only Amerindian language with a script of its own. The script
is used mostly by Canadian Inuits. A new Canadian territory called
Nunavut is to be formed in about a year. This appears to be the first
available MSDOS/MAC Truetype font for Inuktitut language.
The characters have been mapped to the IBM qwerty keyboard as follows.
This may be non-standard.
