I believe I posted about this problem before, but only today did I find =
the solution. I share it so that (a) others may benefit and (b) so that =
when I forget how I solved the problem this time, the Internet will know =
the answer.
When I installed Windows 8, all my pIqaD fonts reverted to the Latin =
alphabet, and when I edited documents I had previously saved with =
Klingon fonts, they suddenly showed Latin characters. The ttf files were =
there, uncorrupted, and the fonts were available to select, but whether =
I was formatting text, or viewing and previewing the fonts through =
control panel, all I saw was the Latin alphabet.
The secret to reclaiming the lost Klingon fonts was the Language Bar. At =
the time I initialized Windows 8, I selected the languages and fonts I =
wanted available. They each associated with a language and a keyboard =
layout, so I have a dropdown and hotkeys to switch among input =
languages. As I rarely use pIqaD on this computer, I had completely =
forgotten that while they had associated with English (Canada), it was =
not the same English (Canada) that I use on a daily basis, but the other =
one, =E2=80=9COL English (Canada)=E2=80=9D (presumably the OL stands for =
Other Language) down at the bottom of the list. When I select this, my =
fonts are usable.
O frabjous day! jIQuch. =
=EF=A3=98=EF=A3=97=EF=A3=A0=EF=A3=A5=EF=A3=92=EF=A3=9F=EF=A3=A5=EF=A3=A9 =
(I can read that as jIQuchqu=E2=80=99, but it=E2=80=99s probably =
gibberish to others =E2=80=93 sorry)
If you=E2=80=99re interested, the fonts I have include:
Klingon pIqaD HaSta and two other Michael Everson fonts
Nokia Pure HL KLGN Regular and two other Nokia fonts
pIqaD Medium from qurgh
- Qov
