Fonts for Sino-Tibetan Languages

This is page for links to a set of fonts to help with the Sino-Tibetan Counting Puzzle Sporcle quiz.

Unfortunately, even if you install these, they may not work, particularly on the Chrome browser on certain operating systems. They'll probably work on Firefox for any reasonably recent OS.

This page contains Chinese character fonts.

Test sample: 二

This page contains Burmese fonts. Test sample: မသုန်

Chrome is sometimes difficult, so this is a Chrome Extension that should allow you to view Burmese alphabet fonts.

This page contains links to fonts for the Yi syllabary. Test sample: ꃘ

This page contains links to fonts for the Tibetan script (used for Dzongkha in this quiz). Test sample: གཅིག་

This page contains fonts for Devanagari, which is what Newari (Nepal Bhasa, not to be confused with Nepali) is written in in the quiz. Test sample: छि

Note that the two most likely not to show up are Burmese and Yi. The puzzle should still soluble in that case if you pay attention to how the number of romanized characters correlates to the number of non-Latin characters.
