# Software Package for the Iokalant Conlang
<img src="example.png"></img>
# Includes:
* A m17n engine .mim file for a custom keyboard layout, compatible with ibus-m17n (io-iokalant.mim)
* A fontforge .sfd font file and a generate TrueType font for rendering of Iokalant Characters encoded in unicode.(IOKALANT_STANT_FATENC.ttf)
* Documentaion on the encoding used and description of the writing system itself
# Issues:
* Incompatible with any Tangut fonts installe.
* The TrueType font does not work with urxvt, but works on Suckless Terminal, Cool Retro Term and any other graphical application
* Currently the Font is marked as being in the private use characters block when it is in the Tangut characters block because fontforge lacks such a preset
# Dependencies:
* TrueType font support
* ibus
* ibus-m17n
* unicode as the system locale
# Instructions:
    $sudo make install
	$ibus reset
	$ibus-setup
Add iokalant as an input method (under Ido)
    
    $st -f "xos4 Terminus,IOKALANT_STANT_FATENC:size=12" # to launch a compatible Terminal
