title: Keyman Toolbox - Font Helper
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The Font Helper tool in the [Keyman Toolbox](../toolbox/) identifies
|
|
fonts on your system that should work with the currently selected
|
|
keyboard layout.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Opening the Font Helper
|
|
|
|
To open the Font Helper:
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the Keyman icon , on the
|
|
Windows Taskbar near the clock.
|
|
|
|
2. From the Keyman menu, select Font Helper.
|
|
|
|
## Using the Font Helper
|
|
|
|
To use the Font Helper:
|
|
|
|
1. Turn on a Keyman keyboard.
|
|
|
|
2. Open the Font Helper.
|
|
|
|
Each font listed in the Font Helper includes a percentage value. This
|
|
value indicates how many characters in the current Keyman keyboard are
|
|
available from the font. Most of the time, fonts with greater than 90%
|
|
coverage will work for nearly all texts.
|
|
|
|
In addition to percentage values, Keyman also includes a complete
|
|
Character Chart with all the keyboard characters supported by the font.
|
|
The Character Chart will allow you to see exactly which characters your
|
|
font supports. It will also allow you to see how the same characters
|
|
look in different fonts.
|
|
|
|
**Tip:**
|
|
If no fonts are listed in the Font Helper, check the documentation of
|
|
the keyboard layout to see if it includes information on where to obtain
|
|
the fonts you need.
