Several years ago, [[Cyan]] put their official D'ni font up for download on their website commonly referred to as '''''Dnifont'''''. This font is much easier to use on the internet, as it lacks an apostrophe in the font name, and for quite some time, was freely available from Cyan's website, ensuring anyone could download and install it.

Unfortunately, an upgrade to Cyan's website removed the page storing the download, but it is available on the Guild of Archivists' [https://www.guildofarchivists.org/utilities/fonts/ font archive]. Advancements in web technologies have also enabled the creation of a [[w:Web Open Font Format|web font]] version, which eliminates the need for the font to be installed on individuals' computers and allows it to be viewed on mobile devices. The Archive uses this web font on this and other pages. You can use the font on your own site by following [https://web.archive.org/web/20190308075109/http://uru.orangehairedboy.com:80/font/ these instructions] by community member OHB. If D'ni text on this site does not appear in the D'ni font, check to make sure that you are running the latest version of your chosen browser. If you are using ad blocking software, be sure that it is configured to allow custom fonts on this domain.

In the years before Cyan released their official version of the font, several fans took it upon themselves to create unofficial versions for themselves and others to use. These fonts, as well as instructions for their use, can also be found on the Guild of Archivists' [https://www.guildofarchivists.org/utilities/fonts/ font archive] and at the D'ni Linguistic Fellowship [http://linguists.bahro.com/essentials.html download page].
