Can anyone tell me where I can find the Mali Standard SILDoulos font? I have checked several places and am not able to locate it.

What is a Mali Standard SILDoulos?

Word cannot translate the character correctly. The character in question is the Y looking symbol in the following word diå¥. The word is from the old world Russian language.

This is the best link I could find for you:

http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=EncCnvtrs


If it's not on that page, there may be a link on that page to where you might find it. If you do find it, however, my guess is that it will be in Tex format, of which I know nothing.

If it's any consolation, I don't think any of the other teams in the Treasure Hunt will get that one, either. Try to find the aglet, the Batman Pez dispenser, and the pen with orange coloured ink instead.

Thanks for the help - I tried using the SIL converter already, but no luck.

Or some of the other links on this Metacrawler results page for "Mali font"

You could also send an e-mail to Luc Devroye at his gmail address, (see the On snot and fonts link at the bottom of each page on dafont). Luc's contact information is listed at the bottom of the page accessed by the dafont link).

Luc is the Internet's foremost authority on fonts and typography. He would be in a position to let you know if there is a Mali SIL Doulos font, and if so, he may send you a copy, if you tell him why you need it, and ask politely. I did a quick search through the African themed fonts section of Luc's site, but I didn't find it. If it's not a free font, however, he definitely won't send you a copy. He isn't Santa Claus, so he wouldn't oblige all requests for fonts, but he is an Academic, (Professor of Computer Sciences), so he may help out with an academically themed font.

Great - I work for a Social Science Research firm so it sounds like he may be more willing to help.
