If you would like to view this material off-line you can download the website (42 MB, last updated: 12th September). Everything is included in the zip except for the mp3 files as they are too heavy. If you want them they must be downloaded separately and placed in the Audio folder, and then everything will work OK.
If you do download the website please see that you take updates at least once a year, so that the website is up-to-date and corrections are included in the version you have. Alternatively if you would like to be informed when new documents are released on this website you can subscribe via any of the following:
The pdf documents have the font embedded and they can be read without installing any of the fonts listed below, but in order to read the diacritics in the Html documents you need to download and install the ITM_TMS fonts (220 KB), which come in 4 styles - Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic, together with a small-capitals version of the font, also in 4 styles. The ITM font is also being made available in Bookman-style in both regular ITM_BKM (220 KB) and small-capitals.
Provided you have both the ITM_TMS and ITM_BKM font sets installed you can change the font style here:
SET FONT TO ITM_TMS SET FONT TO ITM_BKM
New versions of these fonts (Version 1.5) have been posted in April 2008, which interchange the dot over m (ü) and dot under m (§) characters. This has been done to bring the diacritics into compliance with ISO 639-3 and Unicode. Only the newer versions of the pdf files will show the new characters, but the html will display correctly once the new fonts are installed.
To view the character set and find out more about the font, please read the ITM_TMS reference.pdf (115 KB), or view the ITM_BKM reference.pdf (115 KB). There is also an ITM input-programme (200 KB) to easily insert the diacritics in the ITM range of fonts in Windows. It works with any programme which accepts text-input, and can also input into find and search and replace widgets.
All these fonts are being distributed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, a copy of which can be read here. These fonts replace my previous Sangayana series of fonts.
