Windows and Tibetan script

Windows Tibetan fonts

Windows comes with a Tibetan font that has a very unusual property: it can render arbitrary complex Tibetan stacks (e.g. Sanskrit mantras) ‘on the fly’ without the requirement that a specific glyph is already part of the font.

Font name	Sample	Glyphs	Comment
Microsoft Himalaya		unlimited	Only font that can synthesize arbitrary stacks, works only on Windows

Example:

Unusual stacks as in this Kālacakra mantra are no problem for Microsoft Himalaya.
