About Fettan Graphics Corporation

Our corporate goal is to develop, preserve and use the ancient Ethiopian script in computer graphics design, printing, information sharing and archiving so that the Ethiopian community in Ethiopia and around the world could utilize the modern electronic media for communication and printing in Ethiopic (Geez). We launched our Ethiopic printing enterprise in 1991.

We have taken the lead in publishing, browsing and communication in Ethiopic on the Internet. Put the Amharic "Typewriter" and similar keyboards in the museum and join the desktop and cyber publishing and communication revolution. Do not even think of the long lines of state censorship and media controls. Why not join us on the web and express yourself freely. Allow us to print your Ethiopic manuscripts, invitations, corporate or social stationary, calendar and signs or consult with us about your design or printing needs. We have a global network of Ethiopian experts who could translate your documents.

ETHIOPIAN COMPUTERS & SOFTWARE is the first and only developer of truly Ethiopic software (The ModEth, 1987; EthioWord, 1993 and EthoCyber, 1995) that we have been using to typeset text and create publication layouts. See the list of some of the books we printed the logos we designed on our home page. We can not accept or modify any electronic files typeset using any other so called Geez software other than our our EthioWord package.

We developed a standard Ethiopic keyboard that allows for typing all the 480 characters found in all Ethiopian languages, with maximum of two keystrokes in 1987. All accent characters used in all Ethiopian languages are included. There is no need to concoct non-Ethiopic characters on the screen, slap their graphic images on the web, and use Latin characters to represent Ethiopic or reduce the number of characters in the original Ethiopic alphabet that our brilliant ancestors created. Fabrication of tales about non-existent legends (by dishonest academic plagiarists who wish to discredit our scientific achievement) will not alter this fact. Our software is currently compliant with any Windows 98 English language software and works with MS OFFICE 2000.

To learn more about our software visit Fetan Graphics Home page, the web site for cyber communications and electronic publishing in Ethiopian languages and English. If you like our site, you could do the same or better using our software. While you visit‚ learn a little about Ethiopian alphabet‚ Ethiopian calendar, Ethiopian music, Ethiopian scripts‚ Ethiopian languages' software and printing‚ Ethiopic e-mail and chat and get plenty of useful information and news on Ethiopia.
