TransRoman Dictionary in Unicode for Windows
TransRoman Dictionary in Unicode for Windows
TransRoman Dictionary in Unicode for Windows includes two keyboard layouts that support four characters per key (instead of the normal two) in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and Windows 2000 SP3. One keyboard layout takes advantage of the OpenType layout features built into the fonts for the most logical, intuitive input possible. Input order is letter, accent. The letter with its associated accents is built up automatically as you type, with all accents perfectly positioned. This keyboard requires Word 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003, LibreOffice, or OpenOffice.org 3.0 or newer. It may work with other applications, as well.
The other keyboard layout uses a dead key input method. The user types a key representing an accent, and nothing appears to happen on screen. Then the user types the letter to be modified, and the keyboard driver inputs the composite, pre-formed letter with its accent(s). This keyboard layout is supported by all Unicode-compatible software.
Windows System Requirements:
- Operating Systems
- Requires Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows 2000 SP3.
- Applications
- Requires any Unicode-compatible application, including Microsoft Office (except PowerPoint 2003 and earlier), Adobe InDesign, and QuarkXPress 7 and newer, LibreOffice, or OpenOffice.org 3.0 or newer.
- The OpenType keyboard requires Microsoft Word 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003 (or another component of Microsoft Office, except Microsoft PowerPoint 2003, which is not compatible), or LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org 3.0 or newer.
- Older, non-Unicode applications such as QuarkXPress 6.5 and earlier, PageMaker, and Corel WordPerfect are not compatible.
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 is not compatible with TransRoman Dictionary in Unicode for Windows. All text is changed to the Arial font, whether typed with the keyboard, input using Insert Symbol, or pasted from Word using the Windows clipboard. PowerPoint users should type their text in Word or another Unicode-compatible application, and save the text as a graphic for import into PowerPoint. Users can also use WordArt to create their text. To do this in PowerPoint go to Insert, Picture, WordArt, and type your text, formatting it as desired. Alternatively, users can type directly into PowerPoint using our non-Unicode TransRoman Dictionary fonts.

- The non-Unicode TransRoman Dictionary fonts are not interchangeable with TransRoman Dictionary in Unicode. Both Unicode and non-Unicode fonts, including Unicode and non-Unicode versions of TransRoman Dictionary, may be installed on your system (since they have different file and font names) and may even be used in the same files. They are not, however, interchangeable.
