EuroLatin (SIL) Keyboard Help

The EuroLatin keyboard enables you to type in all European languages which use Latin-script, and most Latin-script languages from the rest of the world. The keyboard is designed to be used with any Latin hardware keyboard. It uses simple sequences of symbol + character to type letters and other characters not available on a standard keyboard.

Fonts

Most of the characters in this keyboard are included in the fonts Calibri, Cambria, Arial, and Times New Roman, as well as many other fonts. Some of the characters in this keyboard are only supported by specialty fonts, like Code2000.
