Tibetan fonts and keyboard

Hi,

Does anybody know if it is possible to configure the iPad with Tibetan fonts and keyboard layout ?

It is not listed in the system preferences and I cannot find anything on google. Mac OS X Snow Leopard supports Tibetan and I thought the iPad will support it as well...

Any ideas ?
Thanks

ipad, Other OS

The iPad does have a Tibetan font, but there is no keyboard layout. It can display Tibetan, but not yet correctly. A test page is here:

To input Tibetan you would have to do copy/paste from a document or an app like Unicode Maps.

You can't add anything yourself to the iPad, so best to tell Apple you want this feature here:
