The popularity of the Macintosh with users of foreign character fonts is explained to a large extent by the letters WYSIWYG: "What you see is what you get." However, with writing systems as complex as those of India or even as straightforward as those of Armenia and Ancient Greece, seeing on the Macintosh screen what one wants to get has often required the mastery of some highly arbitrary keyboard layouts. This article suggests some ways of enhancing the user-friendliness of many Macintosh fonts with the aid of three commercial programs: MacKeymeleon, FONTastic Plus, and Tempo (and Tempo II).Downloads
