Great job! thank you.
I hope all Armenian websites will adopt Unicode and we will not rely on fonts anymore.

Hello everyone!
Is there some Armenian Font Convertor, that can convert Armenian text, written in Unicode to ttf?
I’m working in PageMaker that does not support Unicode, so I’m forced to do such convert.
Is there anybody how would be so kind as to help me?

Hello Annabel,

I suggest you go to: http://www.zavarian.org/index.php?lang=En&pageID=113

1- Select Unicode
2- Select Arial AM
3- Click "Convert"

This should convert to Armenian font, but I'm not sure if it is ttf.

I hope I was helpful

Thank you, Raffi,
your advise was really helpful.
Can you, please, help me one more time?
Could you advise me some online (or non-online) dictionary for reading Gospels of Eastern Armenian version, that I need for my studies?
Thanks again.
