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 =

It's designed for Windows 7, but it works on Windows 8.

Apparently, Windows 10 supports pIqaD natively. I've been told this,
though I haven't confirmed it myself. However, I saw this tweet
earlier:
https://twitter.com/shanselman/status/572575416222818305/photo/1
He uses the pIqaD font found here: =
<http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shawnste/archive/2013/05/20/piqad-font-for-bing-=
s-klingon-translator.aspx>, which uses Everson's Unicode code points. =
Interestingly, it includes a web font. Without a corresponding input =
method editor, the font is of limited use. Has anybody written one?
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 =
localization for Klingon. I suspect this was a developer's joke.
The font creator has more blog posts about Klingon on Windows here: =
