Linguist’s Software, a font
foundry since 1984, produces and licenses
professional-quality, scalable fonts for over 1900 languages
for the Windows and Macintosh platforms. The company was
founded by Philip B. Payne, Ph.D. from Cambridge University in
New Testament Greek, which he taught there, at various
seminaries, and as a missionary in Japan.
Linguist’s Software has been
featured in many publications, including Forbes Magazine
and the New York Times. Our products
are widely licensed and used in publishing. Our Greek
fonts were used in the Nestle-Aland 27th ed. Novum
Testamentum Graece and the United Bible Societies’ 4th
ed., rev. Greek New Testament. Our Hebraica
font is being used to publish the United Bible Societies Biblia
Hebraica Quinta fascicles, and our Cyrillic
II fonts were used to print the Easy-to-Read Russian
Bible. Licensees include such companies as AutoDesk, Geac,
Dr. Pepper and Seven Up. Scores of universities and seminaries
have licensed LaserGreek and other Linguist's Software fonts,
including Cambridge University, Oxford University, King's
College London, St. Andrews University, the University of
Wales, the University of Zuerich, Mainz University, Ecole

Linguist’s Software provides
utilities that make it easy to type different languages on the
US keyboard. For Windows, Keyboard Switcher provides access to
four characters per key and the ability to change keyboard
layouts with a hotkey. For the Macintosh, AsiaScript,
EuroScript, and InduScript scripting programs provide
appropriate keyboard layouts, and also allow automatic
contextualization of characters while text is being typed in
languages such as Cambodian, Korean, and Thai (AsiaScript),
Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Sanskrit,
Sinhalese, and Telugu (InduScript), and Czech, Danish, French,
Greek, Icelandic, Slovak, Tamil, Turkish, and 20 other
languages (EuroScript).
Besides fonts, Linguist’s
Software also produces Bible study software, including Greek,
Hebrew, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Latin, and English
Bibles, and a Macintosh Bible search program.
Our fonts are also available in
custom versions for OS/2,
NeXT,
and several implementations of the UNIX
operating system. They work directly in Linux.
