Jawi keyboards by MNH48.
The directory contains the keyboard layout source file in klc format,
that is used in Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC), as well as
the resulting compiled installation files and libraries, minus the
bootstrapper. Because the bootstrapper seemed to not be generated by
MSKLC but rather just copied over, it is technically copyrighted by
Microsoft and I cannot distribute it. The other files are actually
compiled and I have the copyrights on them, so I can distribute them.
You can also generate the files on your side from the source klc.
Install MSKLC from Microsoft's website, load the klc file, then click
Project and select Build DLL and Setup Package.
For users who just want to install keyboard layout and not do anything
else, download the latest release archive and then open it, then
double click on MNHjawi_amd64.msi to install and you're done.
If you cannot run MNHjawi_amd64.msi, for example, it gives you the
error: Error message: The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running., then please run MNHjawi_i386.msi
instead because it means that your Windows or your processor doesn't
support amd64 instruction set. In rare cases such as on certain old
computers with Windows XP, even MNHjawi_i386.msi might not work and
you need MNHjawi_ia64.msi instead in those cases.
The files are built on Windows 10 and has been tested to be functioning properly under Windows 10. The version of MSKLC used is 1.4.6000.2 released on 2nd October 2020. The Unicode data bundled was Unicode 5.0 but I've manually downloaded Unicode 13.0 data to use with MSKLC before compiling, so the keyboard layout I generate has support for Unicode 13.0.
All of the layout themselves, as in the character position arrangement, are all released under The MIT license.
The license for the specific files varies from one another, check the subsection for specific license.
I would actually want to release this as full featured open source, but there might had been some violation with Microsoft's licensing terms. If I read correctly, what it don't allow is the bundling of the keyboard layout in paid software or selling the layout itself. You can still use my files to install and modify as long as you abide with that terms. Those terms were set by Microsoft, not me.
