Displaying Tibetan
[edit source]About the wikibooks function to make PDFs I know nothimg. I always use the font 'Tibetan Machine Unicode' because the built in ones like Ariel MS Unicode don't combine ligatures correctly. If I were you I would try just cutting and pasting the content of the homepage into a word processor and then making that document into a pdf. I have done that before and it has worked.

- If you can give me an email address I will send you some grammars. No particular grammar is very good. Better to read several and form your own opinion. Traditional descriptions must be used with some care, they rely a lot on Sanskrit and the Karakas, which are not quite the same as what we mean when tallking about case.

- If you get really desperate you can always resort to screen shots and saved TIFF's, EPS's or even .png/.jpg/gif files. [[User:Geof Bard गीता]] (discuss • contribs) 03:13, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Small writing in Tibetan
[edit source]This sort of thing is very normal. Sometimes these are corrections made by a second hand. (in which case they will be very short) Sometimes they are notes and commentary, e.g. in philosophical writings you often get identifications of cited sources in smaller writing. There is some Tibetan name for this, but I can't remember it, ends in -yig of course. Some people just transliterate this sort of thing in a smaller font, other people use xml like notation or something like that. Sort of depends who the intended audience is. I have sometimes used footnotes, when it is clear what specific location to put the footnote in. 212.219.236.1 Tibetologist (talk) 14:24, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
