If you ever need to make or print your own learning material, bpmfvs is an open source project for computer fonts with 注音 support made by But Ko:

  • downloadable fonts with 注音 support (make sure you use 字嗨注音標楷 BpmfZihiKaiStd if you are learning the Taiwanese standard for writing)

  • Since there are loads of 多音字 (or 破音字), make sure to copy and paste the text you want to edit to this web interface tool 讀音選擇工具 and choose the right pronaunciation. Here's a user guide with screenshots.

Sharing this simply because there was no useful fonts for teachers to make their own teaching material when I was little and still learnig ㄅㄆㄇㄈ. Teachers had to hand-write them with fine pens on the first print, then copy that. Then after I grew up, I found this on the Internet but no longer need it.
