Read and Type in ArmenianReading in Armenian Typing in Armenian Reading in ArmenianIn a few steps you will be able to read Armenian mail messages and Armenian websites at the same time you read in English or any Latin alphabet.

Back to TopReading in Armenian (Unix)Please download and install this font pack ara.tar.gz Back to TopTyping in ArmenianOnce you have installed the fonts, you may also type in Armenian. But you will need a small program to shift easily (with an ALT+SHIFT stroke) between Armenian and Latin keyboards. You can make this in the same document and even the same line you are typing, because the fonts you have downloaded are composed by a double set of characters: Armenian and Latin. With ALT+SHIFT the system alternatively replaces the Latin set with the Armenian letters or the opposite.
