Early Phoenician
Hi there. For a project I need the Early Phoenician alphabet, which I have been using on my PC. But it is not possible for Mac OS X. I need to resolve this or it is back to WIndows. So does anyone know?

Okay; try this Phoenician input method...
Or... macOS uses various keyboards for switching languages. By selecting the Unicode hex keyboard (System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Source > Unicode hex), you can enter the Unicode value for the character using the keyboard akin to what Windows can do with the Alt key, or using the character viewer.
You can make your own key layout using Ukelele, if you can’t find a better approach.
Or your own input method, which is what Ukelele can help with.
One of the frequent posters around here Tom Gewecke has/had a Phoenician input method available, but the dropbox links to that are dead.
For more information, you can run a web search for:
early Phoenician font "os x”
using the DuckDuckGo search engine—using Google search will undoubtedly work, too—and that’ll turn up all sorts of stuff, including the web site that BDAqua found.
I've got the font and installed it. But I can't get the characters. What I had to do is go to Windows, make a text with the fonts. Move it to Mac and copied paste from the document into Keynote, for which I need the Phoenician script. This worked, but why can't I just get the characters on Mac. The keyboard doesn't help, so where are the characters I need and how do I get them into documents. I read somewhere that the problem is UTF-8 and I have to insert a line which will correct that. But I am not a programmer, so how does this work?
I installed eshmoon.ttf, but it is not mentioned in the keyboard list, so how do I reach the characters I need? There is no Phoenician present. So the same problem I try to solve. It is not the font, but the keyboard that can't show the characters.
In say Text Edit, type CMD+t keys, select...
Hmmm, works fine for me in Keynote with CMD+t keys...
This helped, thank you. It didn't help with another installed font I also installed. But I can use eshmoon.
CMD+T helped. But it is strange the fonts do not show in keynote. But as long as it works, I am OK.
Thanks.
Well, great to hear, thanks for clarifying. :)
Yes, it works fine now. The point was that I installed a font, opened keynote, opened a text-box en in the program itself I looked for Early Phoenician, but it wasn't in the list. I didn't know about CMD+T, so I used my WIndows-PC to put the alphabet letters in a document, which I imported in Keynote. It worked fine. But I still couldn't see the font in the font-list within the program. Strangely enough, after I used CMD+T it worked - and to my surprise I can now also use it from the font list in Keynote, without CMD+T. So, I am not sure how that happened, but it works and that is all that matters. As you can see, I see both fonts, yours and the one I previously installed.
So, thanks for all your help.
