How to get recent usp10.dll for your aging XP

According to wikipedia article about Uniscribe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniscribe you can get (as this written) the latest usp10.dll from Office 2010 (the last Office to support XP) and slightly updated version 1.626.7600.20796 from its SP1, but you could get it in easier way:

- Download full installer of PowerPoint Viewer and install it  ( see comment below )
- or download the smaller PowerPoint Viewer 2010 SP1 then open powerpointviewer2010sp1-kb2460050-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe with 7-zip -> double click ppviewersp1-en-us.msp -> double click PATCH_CAB -> extract USP10.DLL_0002 and rename to usp10.dll. Install the file manually, now that's tricky

Some Unicode Fonts for Windows XP

My reference here is displaying wikipedia in near perfect. http://www.wikipedia.org
Font preference is based on license: SIL OFL, LGPL, GPL with font exception, other free to use and distribute license and the last: plain GPL.

For Windows XP SP3
wangdi (Tibetan) made by Bhutan government under free to distribute and use like license
phetsarath (Laos) LGPL
utkal (Oriya, India) GPL
khmer busra (Cambodia) SIL OFL
padauk (Myanmar) SIL OFL
LKLUG (Sinhala, Srilanka-India) GPL
abyssinica (Ethiopia) SIL OFL
MPH 2B Damase (various languages) Public Domain
oskiwest, oskieast (native americans) GPL

download

notes:
- AFAIK Windows 7 users only need MPH 2B Damase and padauk
- plain GPL means: font embedding = GPL infection
