Default Font Pali Times Ameco

Thank you.
Indeed I had a problem to show my pages to anynone.
How Can I use Times New Roman to apply special typefaces?

The poster who uses the screen name "grammatim" has contacted me and asked
me to post the following information:

"I downloaded the font from the website provided, and it turns out that it's
a very old, pre-Unicode transliteration font, presumably used (only) at the
University of Turin, with accented letters placed in fairly arbitrary cells
of the old extended ASCII group of characters (0-255) -- it contains no Pali
characters at all.

"I strongly urge Pietro to use the accented letters built into any of the
standard Windows fonts, such as Times New Roman, so that his work will be
portable to other people's computers."

Thanks for your time.
The Font is in Windows Fonts Folder and I can print a document with this
special typefaces. I can add Symbol as you said and this surprised me for
I
posted my question here.
Maybe I was unclear.
In a Word Page if I want to put a special typeface from Pali Times Ameco I
choose the typeface and then I have to use a special combination of keys.
Ctrl+ or Ctrl+Alt+.
When I want to find a word with this typefaces I don't know how I have to
write this character in the Find Box.
I followed your hints but If I follow Find-More-Format I can change the
typeface but I don't know how I can insert the special typefaces.
Please, help me!

If the font is installed (in the Windows Fonts folder), and the active
printer is one that is capable of printing, you should be able to select
it
in any Font dialog or dropdown. Can you see it in the Symbol dialog
(Insert
| Symbol | More Symbols...)?

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.
