ABOUT AMHARIC FONTS:

Although amharic websites are a reality most amharic speaking internet users do not have the necessary fonts and tools to visit these sites. And to make the task even harder there are currently more than 10 companies/entities working on amharic software solutions therefore there is no one standard to follow.

Ethio Networks and EEDN chose to provide a few fonts here because some parts of the page uses legacy(old) fonts, and other parts use current innovative unicode fonts. Please download all of them, they have all been screened and cleaned of virus. If you have a question regarding this visit Ethio Networks or contact Ethio Networks at their toll free number: 866.500.1908.
