GTS keymap for Mac/Win/Linux

Jan 04, 2005 Sheean link
I've made a keymap which allows one to input GTS in any program with the right font and unicode support. That means just about anything, but unfortunatly not Vendetta. (well atleast not here)

In order to work you need to install two things:

[1] the keymap
[2] the right font

Both can be downloaded here:

In many programs it is required to change to the 'Vendetta Chat' font to allow GTS display and input. The looks of the font might not be in your favourite taste so you could easily add GTS characters to your favourite font using fontforge [ http://fontforge.sf.net ]

If you plan on communicating in GTS, you'll need to make sure that both sender as receiver are using unicode. (for example with xchat, you'll have to set the encoding to utf-8.)

A small example of GTS       

If you are wondering where in earth all the characters on your keyboard are, take a look here: http://www.sheean-spoel.com/gts/images/ [doesn't work anymore]

Very cool. Too bad my xkb is borked and I can't even use a normal keyboard layout.
