During the installation process LinguaType European 2000 will add these fonts to the
system list of fonts.
In order to begin writing in Latvian select the
Latvian (~) keyboard driver from the taskbar and from within your favourite word-processor
choose one of the above listed fonts.
To obtain the diacritical letters, for example, a-macron, press and release the tilde key
and then hit the "a" key. The same procedure applies for all of the remaining 12 Latvian
diacritical letters.
Upper case a-macron is obtained by pressing and releasing the tilde key followed by holding
down the Shift key and pressing the "a" key.
New font technologies included in Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT allow for the
inclusion of several types of fonts (Western European, Eastern European, Baltic, Cyrillic
and Turkish) within the one font. This feature allows you to use several languages within
the one document and therefore complies with the Unicode standard.
All LinguaType European 2000 fonts have been designed by Gustavs A. Grinbergs in conjunction with well-known font
foundry, Bitstream. Gustavs is a professional graphics designer in Riga and has devoted his
life and professional career to the art of type.
