DescriptionNow you can use your computer for Yoruba-language work just as easily as English, with high-quality Yoruba fonts. The fonts are available for both Macintosh and PC-compatible computers, and allow you to transfer documents between the two platforms. All the diacritical marks are easy to access with keyboard shortcuts. Best of all, YorubaSans also contains all English characters and punctuation marks, so you can set it as the default font in your applications and switch between English and Yoruba reading and writing effortlessly.
The font includes all the characters in the Yoruba orthography, plus the naira symbol and some characters useful for linguistic work. Packaged with the font are instructions, a character chart, and, for PC users, a Windows macro which enables keyboard shortcuts (keyboard shortcuts are built in on Macintosh computers).
