Freely available Unicode fonts
BabelStone Tibetan
From the site (http://babelstone.co.uk/Fonts/Tibetan.html):
BabelStone Tibetan is a Unicode Tibetan font. It is a modification and extension of the Jomolhari font. Jomolhari is a Bhutanese style calligraphic uchen Tibetan script font developed in Bhutan by Christopher J. Fynn, and licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL). I would like to express my immense gratitude to Chris for designing such a beautiful font, and releasing it under a free license that allows me to modify it and release it under the BabelStone brand.
BabelStone Tibetan is based on Jomolhari Version alpha 0.003c 2006, which is quite old, and so does not include sixteen characters added to the Tibetan block in Unicode versions 5.1 (2008), 5.2 (2009) and 6.0 (2010). BabelStone Tibetan adds support for these sixteen characters, and also extends the font to cover many additional stack clusters, including non-standard clusters that are used for writing Tibetan shorthand contractions and some unusual clusters that were used for transcribing Tangut. If there are any stack clusters you need that BabelStone Tibetan does not currently support, please let me know by email or on twitter, and I will endeavour to promptly add them to the font. Please note that the current release (10.000) is the first public release of the font, and there are a number of known limitations and defects which I hope to fix in the future.

Adobe InDesign CS2 & CS3
There was a special version of the Jomolhari font called 'Jomolhari ID' available, designed to work only in early versions of Adobe's InDesign (CS2 & C24) on both Windows and Mac. InDesign has its own OpenType shaping engine and CS2 and CS3 had no specific support for Tibetan script.
The font worked by using lookups under 'generic' OpenType features which are applied by InDesign's shaping engine ~ rather than the features specified for Tibetan which InDesign's shaping engine did not apply. These special lookups are now incorporated into the regular Jomolhari font along with the normal lookups for Tibetan script.

Mac OS-X Unicode fonts
| Why are Mac Unicode fonts in a different section? |
|---|
| Unfortunately both Mac OS-X 10.5 and 10.6 (which supports Tibetan) and Adobe's programs support a different set of OpenType features which are required to correctly render Tibetan glyphs. So far Chris Fynn'sJomolhari ID font is the only publicly-available font that supports all platforms. The other fonts listed above run only with Windows and Linux, and the Mac fonts below run only with Mac OS-X. See Platform Independent Tibetan Unicode Fonts for the internal encoding differences. |
Mac OS-X includes two Tibetan fonts since version 10.5.x :
- Kailasa
- Kokonor

Legacy fonts (non-Unicode)
| Why switch to Unicode? |
| There still exist quite a number of high-quality Tibetan fonts which do not support the Unicode standard. Since they rely on proprietary encoding, they often only work in a well-defined and closed environment. That makes it difficult to work with standard software: |
| * For legacy fonts, standard word processors like OpenOffice or Microsoft word do not understand boundaries of Tibetan syllables and might break syllables in wrong places. |
| * Desktop search engines cannot search Tibetan in legacy encodings. |
| * It is very difficult to change fonts; special conversion software is needed. |
| * Files might not be readable in the future because they use proprietary encoding. |
