Default Font Pali Times Ameco

Indeed the info about this Font are so rare.
I posted the same question in Italian Discussion.
What can I do it?
thanks!

I see the same thing you do. So I reduced the search to "Pali Times" and
found http://www.buddhanet.net/ftp_pali.htm, which lists Pali Palatino and
also a Palimacro.zip file (either of which might be relevant).

Then I tried "Pali Ameco" and got directed to
http://www.skepticfiles.org/mys4/skedamar.htm, which doesn't seem to have
the text quoted in the Google search results (an A.M.E.C.O. Foundation and
reference to "Pali and English chanting"); there are evidently also several
companies named Ameco, at least one of them in China ("Times Ameco" brings
up a lot of those).

Combining "font" with any of these searches just keeps hitting the same
Italian thread about Pali Times Ameco.

I just googled the font name (it would be useful to have a font for
the standard Buddhist canon!), and the only relevant results are this
thread and another one in an Italian-language newsgroup asking the
same question. I wonder if something has gotten renamed somewhere
along the way.

If the font is installed (in the Windows Fonts folder), and the active

in any Font dialog or dropdown. Can you see it in the Symbol dialog
(Insert

I can't paste it in the Find box.
In Format I can't choose the Font.
What can I do?
Thanks!


You can Copy the word you're looking for (if necessary, type it in
your document, copy it, and delete it) and Paste it into the Find box.
If the script is one encoded in Unicode, you probably won't need to
specify the font, but if it's Pali specifically, it's coded either as
some other Indic script, or in the Private Use Area, or as a-zA-Z, and
you should also choose the font as Suzanne explained.-
