Tibetan font with onyx max 2 pro

[obobinde]

Hello everyone,
First post here. I'm thinking of buying the pro version of the onyx max 2 but I still have one big question before proceeding.
I'm working in the field of Tibetan studies and I read a lot stuff written in tibetan so I absolutely need them to display properly. That's why I would be very grateful if anyone could make a few tests for me.

1) The first would be to check if using the boox browser or any browser, the character like those of this tibetan newspaper displays properly : http://tibettimes.net/ ?

2) Also, can anyone tell me if in the UTF-8 font section of the boox parameters there is a tibetan one ? I read somewhere else that there was a bunch of asian fonts but tibetan is much rarer.

3) Also, I've enclosed a .doc and a .pdf identical file with my message. There are just two lines of text in each one. The second line is actually a picture of the line written just above so that you can tell me if it displays properly.

4) Last but not least : when you use MS office on the boox, do you have the Microsoft Himalaya font appearing in the list ?

I'd really grateful to anyone who could enlighten me on these questions !

Seemed to display properly.

Not sure how to check. Didn't see Tibetan listed as a language choice anywhere. However, being Android, I'm sure you could sideload in any fonts you needed. I seem to remember sideloading some specific Japanese fonts onto my Max 1 without any difficulty so I can't imagine it being an issue with the Note or the Max 2.

Looks fine to my eye for both files. I have taken some photos with my phone which I will try to upload. Or may go back and try to take a screenshot. Will upload in a subsequent post.

Don't have MS installed so can't test that out for you at the moment.

A few screenshots taken on the Onyx Note. (Of course the colour showing in the screenshots of the Tibetan Times would have shown up as grayscale on the device.)

Dear Question Mark,
I can't thank you enough for your answer !
Now that I know it displays flawlessly I can buy it with no hesitation.
Have a nice day !
