Ethiopic Typeface

In this set, there are several typefaces which are also bundled with WashRa. They all support Ethiopic standard included in Unicode 3.0 except the Sabaean script, whose encoding isn't standardized yet. For your convenience the fonts are distributed in three packages; the font "Ethiopia Jiret" for those who are interested only for it, the font "Sabaean", and the entire set. Downloading and installation instructions are given at the end of this page.
