| Applications
Any Unicode-compatible application, such as Microsoft Word 2007, 2003, 2002, 2000, or 97, is compatible. The free OpenOffice.org Writer, version 3.0 is compatible. Adobe® InDesign®, QuarkXPress 7.0 and above, and Microsoft Publisher are compatible.
Non-Unicode-compatible applications such as Word 95 (Word 7) and Word 6 are not compatible. Quark XPress 6.5 and older, PageMaker, FrameMaker, Corel WordPerfect, and Lotus Word Pro are not compatible.
Microsoft Office 2007 or 2003, or OpenOffice.org 3.0 is required to use the included AfroRomanU OT and YorubaLSU OT keyboard layouts for the most intuitive input order (letter-accent-accent). Users of any other Unicode-compatible application are fully supported by the AfroRomanU and YorubaLSU Deadkey keyboard layouts, which provide dead key input (accent-letter). All keyboard layouts provide full access to all letters and diacritics in the fonts; they differ only in input method. (Note that Office 2007 and 2003 only install into Windows Vista, XP or 2000 SP3 or later.)
Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 (included in Microsoft Office 2003) is not compatible with AfroRomanU fonts. All text is changed to the Arial font, whether typed with the keyboard, input using Insert Symbol, or pasted from Word using the Windows clipboard. PowerPoint 2003 users should type their text in Word or another Unicode-compatible application, and save the text as a graphic for import into PowerPoint. Users can also use WordArt to create their text. To do this in PowerPoint go to Insert, Picture, WordArt, and type your text, formatting it as desired. Alternatively, users can type directly into PowerPoint using our non-Unicode AfroRoman fonts. (PowerPoint 2007 is compatible with AfroRomanU fonts. Versions before PowerPoint 2003 have not been tested for compatibility.)
Notes
Printer: The fonts will print to any Windows printer at the highest quality allowed by your printer.
