Introduction “HI” fonts are fonts that will allow you to print and type the ÿokina (glottal) and kahakö (macron) when typing with the Papa Pihi HI keyboard resource provided on Kualono. You must use these fonts and this keyboard when using Leokï, however, they may still be used in other programs as well. Please read through the instructions carefully if you are not familiar with the installation of fonts and keyboard resources on Macintosh OS X. Instructions For Installing the “HI” Fonts This is how you correctly install the Hawaiian “HI” fonts on Macintosh OS X:

1) Login to your computer using the Administrator account which was created when you first configured your system. Many times this account is entitled “admin”, however, another user name may have been used. If you have only one account on your computer, it will be the administrator account. If there is a different administrator account and you do not have the password for it, you need to locate the individual who has this information and seek his assistance on the installation of these resources.

2) Download the Hawaiian keyboard and font resources from Kualono which are

3) Extract the .sit or .zip file, and you will see a folder entitled “mac_fonts Folder” on your desktop (or whatever location on your computer that you have selected to download files). The contents of this folder are displayed to the right.

4) Create a new window by typing “Command + N”, and arrange the windows so

that you can see both the contents of the “mac_fonts Folder” as well as this new window. Click on the “View” button that is underlined on the graphic displayed below, and then select ”Macintosh HD” which is displayed on the column on the far left. In the next column to the right, select the “Library” folder, and in the next column to the right, select the “Fonts” folder as displayed in the graphic below.

Selecting The Papa Pihi “HI” Though your Papa Pihi HI is now available to all accounts on the computer, you must enable the keyboard layout on all accounts that wish to use it. this is how you enable the keyboard layout:

1) Go to the Apple menu , and select “System Preferences”.

2) Choose the “International” pane, and then select the “Input

Menu” tab.

3) Search for the Papa Pihi HI among the keyboard layouts listed, and then chose the check box to the left.

Warning! You will also see a keyboard layout called ”Hawaiian”. You may choose to enable this keyboard as well, however, you cannot use this keyboard with the HI fonts that you have installed and within Leokï. You can use it with some fonts that come with OS X that support Unicode.

If you had previously only used one keyboard layout, you will now see a new menu appear on your menu bar, and from this keyboard menu you will be able to select the keyboard layout you wish to use.
