This is a set of files for typsetting Tibetan using TeX
I started with the latextibetan package (see below). This included
- pk300 fonts (tib and tibsp)
- a prefilter program tfilt in c (source)
You write a text file name.tib, then run tfilt on it to get name.tex,
which you then tex and etc normally.
I made substantial modifications to the filter program to fix bugs and
add features (e.g. various sanscrit letters, different sized fonts). I
also took the pk files, used GNU font utilities to create .mf files so
that the fonts can be made at any desired scale. I also cleaned up the
fonts a bit. I added a unix script ttex, which automates the
filtering/texing/dvi2ps process. I greatly expanded the tibdef.tex
include file. The file boxes.tex can also be used to get various
borders.
I've had no success in contacting anyone who made the original
program/fonts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
To install,
- unpack the files in their appropriate directories,
- type make in the src directory (modifying the makefile if you want)
- build the pk files you want from .mf files
(as per usual for TeX and the mf program [add mf instructions here])
- modify ttex for the location of the tfilt program.
Then try out the examples mani.tib etc.
Good luck!

From the original latextibetan package README:
This package was obtained from Ronald Schwartz at the Memorial
University of Newfoundland. It provides a LaTeX front-end for writing
modern Tibetan.
Directions are in the file called instruct (in the ps/instruct.ps file).
