TECkit Downloads

Here is where the current version of TECkit can be obtained.

New version 2.5.1, released 7 April 2008

This release updates the supported character repertoire to Unicode 5.1, for purposes of character name lookup in the compiler, and Unicode normalization support. There are also a couple of minor bug-fixes. Otherwise, the software is functionally identical to earlier releases, and the updated libraries should work with existing applications.

Source code

The source code for TECkit is available via the Subversion repository at http://scripts.sil.org/svn-public/teckit/TRUNK/. An archive of the sources used for release 2.5.1 can be downloaded from http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/teckit/TAGS/TECkit_2_5_1.tar.gz. The code is expected to compile and run on typical Unix/Linux systems using standard ./configure && make && make install commands.

Encore2Unicode utility

Encore2Unicode is a command-line utility for Windows that can examine a font built using the Encore font system and create a draft TECkit mapping table for converting data using that font to (and back from) Unicode.

Note that Encore2Unicode will not work with any other fonts than those built using the Encore font system, version 3. It is also important to note that the mapping tables created are only drafts, and must be carefully reviewed before being entrusted with important data.

Further information is in the zip file or self-extracting archive available below, together with the utility itself and a set of data files that it requires.
