Instructions for Lucida Sans Navajo font.

Introduction
============

Y't'h!  This is a scalable TrueType font for Navajo language 
typography.  It will work on any machine running Microsoft Windows 3.1 
or higher.

Installation Procedure for Lucida Sans Navajo Font
==================================================

(a)  Insert the "Navajo Sans Lucida" diskette into a disk drive.
(b)  Open your Windows "Control Panel."
(c)  Double-click "Fonts."
(d)  Click "Add..."
(e)  Select the drive containing the "Navajo Sans Lucida" diskette.
     (You should see the font listed in the selection box.)
(f)  Make sure "Copy font files to Windows directory" is checked.
(g)  Select the font, then click "OK."
(h)  The font should now appear on your list of fonts. 

Installation Procedure for ACCENT Keyboard Mapping Utility
==========================================================

The Navajo Sans Lucida font is packaged with a shareware keyboard
remapping utility called ACCENT by pro++ Software.  You may install
this utility and evaluate it free of charge, but if you choose to
use it, you must pay a $25 registration fee.  Send a check or money
order (payable to pro++ Software) to:

			pro++ Software
			8045 Saguenay
			Brossard, Qc
			J4X 1N2  CANADA

You can also register with Public (software) Library with your MC, 
Visa, AmEx or Discover card by calling 800-242-4PsL (from overseas: 
713-524-6394) or by FAX to 713-524-6398 or by CompuServe to 71355,470. 
Please quote item #10613 for faster processing. For more information
about registration, see ACCENT.TXT included with the ACCENT files.
(Note:  if you don't register, Accent will bother you with a message
every hour or so it is running.)

To install ACCENT:

(a)  Use the File Manager to examine the contents of the installation
     diskette.
(b)  Double-click on INSTALL.EXE to run the ACCENT installation program.
(c)  You will see a dialogue box.  For "Copy files to directory:", enter
     the drive and path on which you want ACCENT installed (default is
     C:\WINDOWS, but we recommend installing to a subdirectory, such as 
     C:\WINDOWS\ACCENT).  For "Set setup to:", keep the default (none).
     Leave "Registration number:" blank unless you have already registered.
     If you want ACCENT to run automatically every time you start Windows,
     make sure the box "Load Accent automatically when starting Windows"
     is checked.  Otherwise, you'll have to run Accent manually every time 
     you want to type in Navajo.  (In this case, you will want 
     to install an icon in the Windows Program Manager for ACCENT.  See the 
     Windows manual for instructions.)  Finally, click "Install."
(d)  When installation is finished, the Accent window will appear.  Close
     it by clicking "OK."
(e)  Copy the Navajo keyboard layout file, SET001.INI, to the path in
     which you installed Accent.  (E.g. if you installed to C:\WINDOWS,
     select SET001.INI on the installation diskette, then select "Copy..." 
     and enter "C:\WINDOWS" for the destination.
(f)  Restart Windows.  When Accent loads keyboards, it should find the
     new Navajo layout.
(g)  Double-click on the Accent icon, which should be in the lower-left
     of your desktop.  Click the "Keyboard" button.  Select "Navajo."
     Click "Load keyboard."  You may wish to change the hot-key (which
     toggles between Navajo and regular mode) to Ctrl-N (default is
     Ctrl-T).  Now click "Save."  
(h)  Notice that when you press the hot-key, a hat appears and disappears
     above the "a" on the Accent icon.  When the hat is present, you are
     in Navajo mode.  When it is not, you are in English mode.  You can
     use the hot-key from any Windows application.
(i)  You are now ready to type in Navajo.  Load your favorite word-
     processor, change to the "LucidaSansNavajo" font, use the hot-key
     to change the keyboard to Navajo mode, and type away. 

The Keyboard Layout
===================

All the unaccented letters are as usual.  Accented vowels are mapped onto
the number keys, as follows:

	1	a, high tone
	2	a, nasal
	3	a, high tone and nasal
	4	e, high tone
	5	e, nasal
	6	e, high tone and nasal
	7	i, high tone
	8	i, nasal
	9	i, high tone and nasal
	0	o, high tone
	-	o, nasal
	=	o, high tone and nasal

Capital accented vowels can be obtained by using Shift with the same
keys.  Numbers can still be typed using the numeric keypad, and the
usual symbols can be typed by holding down the right Alt key (on 
extended keyboards) and typing the appropriate number key.  (To get
+ and |, use Shift + right Alt).  

L-slash (lower and upper-case) is mapped onto the [/{ key, and n-high
tone is mapped onto the ]/} key.  To get the bracket symbols, use
right Alt (and Shift for {}) with these keys.

The glottal stop is mapped onto both the ; and the ' keys, for easy
typing.  To get the ;, use right Alt with the ; key.

There are a few strange (non-Navajo) characters on some of the keys,
due to the font's origin in the Lucida Sans IPA (phonetic) font.
Just ignore them.

Using the Font without ACCENT
=============================

If you do not wish to use Accent or a similar keyboard-remapping utility,
it is possible to use the font (less conveniently) with the Finnish
keyboard layout that comes with Windows.  For instructions on installing
and changing to the Finnish keyboard layout, see your Windows manual.
Note:  it is highly recommended that you use the keyboard layout provided
by Accent.  Not only does it make the typing easier, it is also much 
easier to switch to and from.

If the Finnish keyboard is used, key layout is just as in the standard 
Finnish keyboard, with the following changes:  

	=	high tone accent on next letter typed
	]	nasal accent on next letter typed
	}	nasal and high tone accent on next letter typed
	`	high tone n
	~	high tone N
	[	slash l
	{	slash L
	-	glottal stop
	$	+ (plus sign)

Everything else is just as on the standard Finnish keyboard (which is 
a bit different from the US one in the arrangement of symbols--but 
you'll get used to it!).

Credits and Distribution
========================

This font is a modification of LucidaSansIPAText by Bigelow & Holmes.
Many thanks to Charles Bigelow for authorizing the distribution of this
variant.  The idea for the keyboard layout is due (with some modifications)
to Bob Young, creator of the first Navajo font.  Some of the work on this
font was done at Greyhills Academy High School in Tuba City, Arizona.

Lucida Sans Navajo may be distributed freely for use by Native Americans,
linguists, and non-profits, provided that
   (a)  no fee is charged
   (b)  all the files are included with it.

Those without access to Microsoft Word can get a copy of the keyboard
layout by sending me a SASE.  Comments are also welcome.
