OSX actually has been shipping for a while now with a decent Tibetan font.<p>Unfortunately Windows' Tibetan font ("Microsoft Himalaya") is in a disappointing state.<p>See the mashed up letters on row 3, letters 3 and 4 from the left:

On a completely related manner, why do they fire off an event everytime a word is double clicked. I read online articles by clicking around constantly.
I love the footer on that website:<p>"This site built with Open Source: html/css, php, apache, linux, vim, air, water.
and the awesome Lenovo ThinkPad — made in , working for — thank you, China! "<p>Open source air and water - brilliant.
