Jomolhari ID was afork of Jomolhari to create a font that worked inAdobe InDesign CS3 and CS4, which lacked specific support for Tibetan script. This font included additional general OpenType lookups and features in the font enabling it to work in these versions of InDesign.[7][8] These additional lookups were later incorporated into the standard Jomolhari font.
Andrew West also created a fork of Jomolhari to add extended support for Tibetan: BabelStone Tibetan. This font added some additional Tibetan characters encoded in a later version of Unicode, added more clusters especially for writing Tibetan shorthand contractions and transcribingTangut.[9]
