In a Typographic Daze

Want to be able to type or read Lao on your computer?  Try downloading and installing the varying Lao fonts that are available for free online. 

At Laoconnection.com over the years, we've tried to find every possible Lao font out there.  However the list of websites has varied over time and the list is shrinking but the designs continue to be quite innovative and creative.  Check out our list.

Here's the current list of Lao font sources online:
