[Tlhingan-hol] Windows 8 and pIqaD fonts- solution to problem

[qurgh lungqIj]

I've had a pIqaD Unicode Keyboard Local and Font available for the last 6
years or so. You can download it from either http://hol.kag.org or my Blog:
http://www.wizage.net/piqad-support/

It's designed for Windows 7, but it works on Windows 8.
