I've had a pIqaD Unicode Keyboard Local and Font available for the last 6
years or so. You can download it from either http://hol.kag.org or my Blog:
http://www.wizage.net/piqad-support/
It's designed for Windows 7, but it works on Windows 8.

He uses the pIqaD font found here: <<a href=3D"http://blogs.msdn.com/b/s=

uses Everson's Unicode code points. Interestingly, it includes a web f=

e. Has anybody written one?<br>
<br>
I've got the latest Windows 10 preview build, but I don't know how =
he got pIqaD to appear in that Command Prompt window. There is no localizat=
