Eastern James Bay Cree fonts
Two things are required in either operating system in order to type in Cree syllabics: both a font (for the different character shapes) and
a keyboard (providing a method of typing those shapes). Today’s standards require Unicode fonts.
Most people today type using the roman keyboard where each cree character corresponds to a series of roman characters on the QWERTY keyboard. Some people still use the creeboard where each cree character corresponds to only key (on the QWERTY keyboard)
