how do I use amharic fonts? I downloaded keyman and can't get it to work (im on MacBook Air Sequoia 15.0) is there a way I can just use the kefa fonts without an app?

As with any other script, you just activate the inport source for it which Apple provides already

The one for Amharic is called Ge'ez
(No need for the Keyman app, unless you find its keyboard better for some reason)

What exactly do you see when you go to system settings > keyboard > text input > edit > all input sources and click on the + button at the bottom and type amharic in the search box there?
i can’t add the ge’ez kefa font into input sources
Fonts don't work like that. When you type with the right input source, the Kefa font is automatically used in the document. For example: አስድፍግህጅክል
never mind, i hit the plus at bottom left and found amharic, i was looking in the languages section by accident, thank you!

Good news! Let us know if you find any problems using the keyboard and font
PS To see which key does what, you use Keyboard Viewer
Use the Keyboard Viewer on Mac - Apple Support
yes i understand but i can’t put ge’ez into the input sources, it’s not there, also i can’t add the ge’ez kefa font into input sources
