In order to start using POJ on your computer, you will need to install two things: firstly, a font capable of displaying the script, and secondly a way to type in POJ.
Fonts
DejaVu (External link)
Comprehensive set of fonts on a theme, including bold, italic and monospace, which all support POJ and other Taiwanese romanizations.
Taigi Unicode
A unicode-compliant font by Lâu Kiat-ga̍k designed for POJ and suitable for both the Taiwanese and Hakka languages.
Charis SIL and Doulos SIL (External links)
More unicode options for displaying Taiwanese romanizations, courtesy of SIL, a Christian charity concerned with cataloging and preserving lesser-spoken languages.
Input Methods
Taiwanese Pack 2.1
A simple input method editor for the PC, which also includes macro scripts for Microsoft Office to enable POJ functionality in Word.
Open Vanilla (External link)
An input method for Mac OS X/Windows which enables various ways to type Chinese characters, plus an option for POJ.
Taiwan's Ministry of Education IME (External link)
Inputs for Tai-lo, the romanization that the Taiwanese government supports. Versions for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. The page is in Mandarin characters, but can be puzzled out quite easily if you don't read Mandarin. This IME will automatically convert POJ, TLPA and Tong-iong to Tai-lo as you type.
