Maltese Language Support

 
The IT Services is encouraging staff and students to make use of the Maltese language support facilities in MS Windows XP to type Maltese characters (Ċ, ċ, Ġ, ġ, Ħ, ħ, Ż & ż etc.). These language support facilities do not require the installation of additional fonts.

All IT Services workstations are configured so that users can type the Maltese characters. Staff* and students are encouraged to follow this guide to configure their office/home computer systems running MS Windows XP to be able to type the Maltese characters. The Maltese language support can be enabled on computer systems having MS Windows XP Service Pack 2.

The IT Services is also distributing self-adhesive labels displaying the Maltese characters that may be applied on existing keyboards in line with Maltese keyboard layout standards set by the Malta Standards Authority.

Academic, administrative and technical staff are invited to collect these labels (free of charge) as indicated below:

  Campus Staff
  Junior College Staff
JC Office 103
  IHC Staff
IHC Office 107/108
  Medical School Staff
Dean's Office

*SIMS users are requested to contact IT Services Support to enable the Maltese language support on their computer systems.
