Indian Language Fonts

Using MAC OS X, safari/chrome/mozilla: when displaying Indian Language scripts encoded in UTF-8,
how does the browser choose which font to use? For instance, I have only one telugu font (Pothana) installed; however, when telugu script is displayed, it uses some other font (which I do not know) and it switches between that font and Pothana non-deterministically. One font stays for a few days and suddenly switches to the other. How do I control this? Same problem no matter which browser (safari/chrome/mozilla) is used.

Each browser is different I think. Firefox > Preferences > Content > Fonts > Advanced has settings for languages, while Safari/Chrome does not.
For Telugu, there is only one free font that displays correctly in OS X, which is
http://web.nickshanks.com/fonts/telugu/
So you can get rid of all the others you might have. That should help avoid anything else being used.
Another Telegu font for OS X is available here:

Indian Language Font

Hi, all!! This is Narayanan, from Chennai, India. I recently had my BB Curve 9220 serviced, and since then, I am unable to view Messages, Social Feeds, etc., where the text is in Indian Languages. Earlier, the messages wre displayed "As It Is". Pls suggest some remedies.....

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I would surmise that whatever work was done, your OS was changed, and the version placed onto your device does not contain the proper language pack. You can remedy this...but it is some amount of work, you may prefer to request they remedy this situation.
If you wish to proceed on your own then the simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
Use also this KB to guide your selection:
Article ID: KB05305 Localization support for BlackBerry smartphones
5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Good luck and let us know!

Localization/Indian languages

Hello Friends,
I am trying to localize my application for Indian languages.
I have a few road blocks to discuss.
1. My changes in properties files does not reflect immediately.
2. Can anyone please tell me how I will get the locales corresponding to Hindi make available for my use.
- For the same I installed hindi fonts in my system, and stuck without knowing how I will get the required locale.
With kind Regards,
Sony.

Feature phones like Nokia 2700, C3 00 etc can show all Indian languages including Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, etc even though with no support for typing all languages.
Nokia 701 being a smartphone, when it was released was not supporting even Hindi language, later after software update phone supported Hindi.
It would be better to support all India languages like as feature phones does. It is cool to read news websites in our native language.
Please provide this feature in fp2.

Indian language file - pdf problem

I work mostly with Indian langauges fonts and have ttf (and some ATM) fonts.
When I try to make pdf for printing purposes, some characters do not appear in pdf. I found from the character map that they are equivalent to "no-break space" character. And in some languages (fonts), the same character appears perfectly.
I use acrobat distiller to make pdf for prepress. (It is another problem that sometimes such characters do not appear even in normal word file.)
Is there any solution to solve this problem, because, this problem appears in almost all Indian fonts.
Interestingly, a pdf can be prepared from the same file with the Windows98 version.
I have posted the same question (shorter one) at pdf forum as well.
Can anyone help?

We experienced the exact same problem as the OP (including corrupt files named "f.pdf" and the browser dialog box he documented). Don't know if his environment is similar, but here is how we fixed our issue:
Our app uses an Authentication Scheme that includes under "Page Session Management" a "Session Verify Function" called like this: "return timeout_pkg.check_timeout;". This timeout_pkg I think came from code originally posted here, it works well so thanks to the original coder. However it does present a small issue in that it rewrites the mime headers in the server response in one use case. Since it is rewriting the headers to "text/html" even though we are sending back a report where the mime header should be "application/pdf", the client gets confused and the result is the symptoms the OP posted.
So if we change the timeout package and body so the signature is like this: "function check_timeout (p_request IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT null) return boolean;"
And change the call in the "Session Verify Function" to pass the request as a parameter like: "return timeout_pkg.check_timeout(:REQUEST);"
And change the body of the timeout_pkg.check_timeout function to use the correct mime type when calling a report:
elsif not g_cookie_already_sent then
if (p_request is not null and INSTR(p_request, 'PRINT_REPORT') != 0) then
owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf', FALSE);
else
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
end if;
then we solve our particular problem... I hope this saves somebody else some time, remember this was our specific solution to the exact symptoms documented by the OP, however as a general rule I would say if you are experiencing problems with pdf printing from Apex, watch out for anything your app might be doing with the owa_util pkg in particular and mime headers in the server response in general.

Other language Fonts

Hi
I used Photoshop CS 3 Extended and ahving trouble with foreign language fonts. I have all the South Asian fonts installed which also shows up in my PS. But when I use the font (example Baraha), the characters are all garbled. I even tried copy/paste from Word, but that does not help.
How can I use the Baraha and also display correctly in my image ? Thanks for your help.

I plead complete ignorance of any and all Indian languages, and CS3 is a distant memory now, so what follows may or may not be helpful:
Make sure you have checked Show Asian Text Options in Photoshop preferences:

Indian language problem.

I purchased Id CS6 for the expanded Indian language capabilities. I am working in Gujarati and am having the following problem. In Adobe Paragraph Composer the program doesn't recognize the Gujarati half letters and sets each letter as a full letter. In Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer the half letters are recognized, but the paragraph flows right to left and I cannot make it change direction. Any advice?

Dear Hunt,
Am little bit confused after reading your reply.As jui mentioend she have designed the font using fontographer and wrote the tables by using VOLT (in windows)
So whether rendering engine is necesary for the fonotgrapher, as per my knowledge fontographer lets to design, edit, and manipulate fonts(Pls correct me if am wrong).And all the posiitoning and tabling happens in Windows by using volt, where bydefault uniscribe support is there.
Pls clarify this.Also If it's the issue is any convertion tool is avialable for converting the font from MAC to Windows.Or wil it possible to do by fontographer or volt.
And if we ported this font to fontforge, with the Pango or ICU backend support( in Linux), whether this issue will resolve ?
PS:Am just a beginer in this domain,starts learing with jui.So pls apologise me if am wrong.

If a pdf file is written in indian language but prints off in a different language, what could be the issue?

Most likely the issue is non-standard fonts. Are all used fonts embedded in the document?

Adobe Reader None of the version supports Indian Language Hindi

Hi,
Can anybody tell me when Adobe Reader will support Indian Language Hindi?
The problem in detail as:
I can save MS Word 2013 file as PDF or I convert some of the report to PDf. It is perfect. But when I want to copy paste the same pdf data to MS Word or Notepad or any other editable application then data gets lost. All Garbage data is getting pasted. PDF do not retain Indian Language data like other Languages (English, Japanese, Chinese, etc.).
I am waiting for Adobe to solve this problem from the year 2006.
Please help.
Regards,
Sitaram Gaikwad

More info.
I just created a Word document that had very simple sample text in davanagari (क ख ग घ ङ च छ ज) and uses the correctly set up fonts Arial Unicode MS and Mangal. Printed to Adobe PDF printer.
These are displayed correctly in Acrobat X.
They copy back to Word exactly as their original characters.
However, I have not tested with diacritics or ligatures. I can well imagine these do not travel well.

How do you install foreign language fonts?

Does anyone know how to install foreign language fonts that doesn't come with iPad?

Nobody here has any way to tell you that, and Apple itself never provides this kind of info. Make sure you tell them you want it here:

(Even on a desktop/laptop Mac with the full version of OS X Ethiopic currently requires installing 3rd party software. I can provide the source if you are interested)

Korean Language Fonts?

I recently composed a notice in Word2007, used Acrobat 9 to convert to PDF and posted the file on my webpage. This is not the first time I have done this, but this time about 5 of my visitors have emailed me to complain that they get a notification that "Korean language fonts need to be installed for this document to display properly", or words to that effect. When I check from my desk (Win 7/Firefox 3) I see no notice. From my son's laptop (Win XP/Firefox 3), I get the notice, accompanied by a "Download Now" button. Visitors using Safari and Int Explorer get the notice but no download option, just a blank file.
This is a new quirk - where is the need for Korean fonts coming from? The document is in English. How do I make this document accessible for all visitors? The "Document > Properties" windows shows nothing about non-English or other unusual fonts.

I just realized that all the fonts listed are ANSI-encoded, except ArielUnicodeMS, which is encoded as "KSCms-UHC-H" whatever the heck that is. Might this appear to Acrobat as a foreign font?
