Pali Fonts

Now a days, many fonts have the letters you need for Pali. The letters with dots, especially ṇ, ṅ, ṁ are sometimes missing. Microsoft Word will often use letters from another font if they are missing. Check carefully. Many special fonts for Pali can be found at Bhikkhu Pesala’s Font Page.
