  Download Latest Version of Text Editor
  
  Installation Steps
   

  1. Download the J2RE Environment. The Total File Size is around 9 MB. And the version you will be downloading is 1.4.0.
  2. After Download, Install the environment. Once installed, you can run other software released by the Khyber Gateway in the future as well as this free Pashto Editor.
  3. Next, download the Pashto Text Editor Installation File. This installation is around 450 Kb and includes the Executable file as well as the relevant images used by the application.

  5. To Run the Editor, just double click on the file called 'Pashto Editor'.

  Usage Information
   

  1. Documents can be opened/saved in the RTF format so once created, you can open these documents using other packages like Microsoft Word and Wordpad.
  2. Various Pashto fonts (available for free from the Internet) have been included in the archive. All these fonts are in the fonts directory. Before using, you may need to install these fonts first. These Fonts are NOT the property of Khyber Gateway; However since it is not mentioned by their authors anywhere that these fonts can not be redistributed (as of January 2003), therefore I have included them in the installation. A list of them is as such:
     • Pashto Abdali (Afghanan.net)
     • Pashto Preghal (Afghanan.net)
     • Pashto Waziristan (Khpala Pashto)
     • Pokhto (Shirzad.de)
  3. Pashto Keyboard is included in the application for ease of use. The layout is phonetic. (E.g., A for Alif, B for Bay, etc.)

  For more detail, please direct your questions on the Jirga Hall Discussion Board so that other users can also benefit from it.
