Background

Our earliest product was called 'Pioneer Myanmar Font' which we exhibited on 13 Mar 1992, as "the first multi-purpose Burmese software for MS-Windows". It was known as the first multi-purpose Burmese software, and became a milestone in the country's computer history.

Pioneer Myanmar Font was only a scalable stroke-font, so that it didn't look beautiful. Windows' fonts at that time were not as good as those of today, because Microsoft has not licensed the TrueType technology from Apple yet.

Keyboard layout of Pioneer Burmese  Font was as same as that of the conventional Burmese Typewriters. Its typing method has been used for a long time ever since Burmese type-writers were invented in the early 1900s. Thus, this typing method is the most common and well-established in everyday-life of the Burmese office work.

Pioneer Burmese font was later replaced by WinTypewriter Font. The output of this font looks really like that of the regular Olympia Myanmar typewriter.
