>Background History:
>In 1988, at the suggestion of Lokomai Snakenberg, (head of the Hawaiian
>Studies Program at Lunalilo School), and the encouragement of the Bishop
>Museum's `Ohi`a Project, COCONUT INFO created the Polynesian Laser Font
>system.  It allowed for proper pronunciation and spelling of the Hawaiian
>Language on a Windows or Macintosh computer in a simple fashion. COCONUT
>INFO played a principal role putting the kahako [sic] and the `okina back
>into the printed Hawaiian language.  For the first time it was possible to
>easily "type" correct Hawaiian.  The system has now grown to be used daily
>by many educational facilities, visitor industry publications, designers,
>and hard-bound book publishers.  Quality has always been guaranteed through
>press.
>
>COCONUT INFO is located in Honolulu, Hawai`i and was founded in 1986.  It
>is a privately owned 'for profit' company that does not rely on taxpayer
>funds, grants, or other donations for development.
>
>Its software, the majority of it focusing on Hawaiian culture, has shipped
>throughout the world.
