Uyghur typesetting in Latex

XeTeX now supports Arabic typesetting. It means you can typeset Uyghur in Latex. It is not as good as the professional typesetting systems. But it definitely looks much better than the MS word typesetting. I made a sample. Here is link: Uyghur typesetting in Latex. Enjoy.

Uyghur Latin Alphabet to Uyghur Alphabet converter

There are many websites and blogs that use Uyghur Latin Alphabet. I can read Uyghur Latin Alphabaet, but very slowly. It makes me dizzy if I read more than a page. So I wrote this simple convertor, which converts Uyghur Latin Text to Uyghur (arabic) text.  The javascript source code is available at http://cis.temple.edu/~anwar/code/latin2uyghur.html

Incetercept Java Keyboard event: Uyghur Input TextBox

I intercepted the keyboard input in Java JTextField and replaced the keycode with corresponding Uyghur Unicode letters. You can directly type Uyghur in Java forms using this class. You don't need system level Uyghur input methods. You don't have to switch between input methods even if you have system supported Uyghur input method.

This class can also be used to filter some keyboard inputs, such as numbers, or punctuations.

Here is the UyghurTextEdit class code:

UyghurTextEdit NetBeans Project

Jar File:

Source Code of the class and test file.
