On a completely related manner, why do they fire off an event everytime a word is double clicked. I read online articles by clicking around constantly.
I love the footer on that website:
"This site built with Open Source: html/css, php, apache, linux, vim, air, water. and the awesome Lenovo ThinkPad — made in , working for — thank you, China! "
Open source air and water - brilliant.

Oh, I misread that as a "Tibetan Monk" create a new "Unicode font". That would have been more interesting.
OSX actually has been shipping for a while now with a decent Tibetan font.
Unfortunately Windows' Tibetan font ("Microsoft Himalaya") is in a disappointing state.
See the mashed up letters on row 3, letters 3 and 4 from the left: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/family.aspx?FID=32...
The link to purchase the font links to a 3rd party they commissioned the font from, but they no longer seem to sell it.
If you have an OSX and a Windows computer you can compare the font support between them here: http://www.unicode.org/charts-6.1.0beta/script/chart_Tibetan...
Symbols 0FC5 - 0FC8 are especially poor and almost unrecognizable.
Many letters are missing from 0F75 - 0FBC, which are used for Sanskrit transliteration into Tibetan.
