Freely available Unicode fonts

BabelStone Tibetan

From the site (http://babelstone.co.uk/Fonts/Tibetan.html):

BabelStone Tibetan is a Unicode Tibetan font. It is a modification and extension of the Jomolhari font. Jomolhari is a Bhutanese style calligraphic uchen Tibetan script font developed in Bhutan by Christopher J. Fynn, and licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL). I would like to express my immense gratitude to Chris for designing such a beautiful font, and releasing it under a free license that allows me to modify it and release it under the BabelStone brand.

BabelStone Tibetan is based on Jomolhari Version alpha 0.003c 2006, which is quite old, and so does not include sixteen characters added to the Tibetan block in Unicode versions 5.1 (2008), 5.2 (2009) and 6.0 (2010). BabelStone Tibetan adds support for these sixteen characters, and also extends the font to cover many additional stack clusters, including non-standard clusters that are used for writing Tibetan shorthand contractions and some unusual clusters that were used for transcribing Tangut. If there are any stack clusters you need that BabelStone Tibetan does not currently support, please let me know by email or on twitter, and I will endeavour to promptly add them to the font. Please note that the current release (10.000) is the first public release of the font, and there are a number of known limitations and defects which I hope to fix in the future.

Adobe InDesign CS3 & CS4

There is a special version of the Jomolhari font called 'Jomolhari ID' available, designed to work only in Adobe's InDesign (CS3 & CS4) on both Windows and Mac. InDesign CS3 and CS4 has its own OpenType shaping engine which does not have specific support for Tibetan script.
The font works by using lookups under 'generic' OpenType features which are applied by InDesign's shaping engine ~ rather than the features specified for Tibetan which InDesign's shaping engine does not apply. This also enables the font to work in a number of Macintosh applications.

Adobe InDesign CS5

This has been solved for InDesign CS5: See How to prepare InDesign CS5 for Tibetan script.
