Hi, The current version of Yudit has complete support for malayalam and other indic languages. It can also use Opentype layout tables of Malayalam fonts. I think Yudit is the first Application that can use Opentype tables for Malayalam, as MS is yet to release it's engine for malayalam. raj ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2002 10:59:41 +0900 (JST) From: Gaspar Sinai <gs...@yu...> To: lin...@nl...

Hi, If download it for Windows, can I get Unicode Kannada editor on Win98? What about the problem of Win98 NOT supporting OpenType fonts? Has it got a rendering engine for Indic scripts for Opentype fonts? I did actually download it for Windows and tried both on Win98 and WinXP. I selected Kannada. Entered some unicode values for Kannada. But I did not see Kannada text. On XP I do have Kannada Opentype fonts. -Pavanaja > Hi, > > The current version of Yudit has complete support for malayalam and > other indic languages.

I haven't used yudit on windows, but on Linux and BSD, I have to explicitly point it to the TTF file via .yuditrc. It doesn't use operating system provided facilities to deal with fonts - it deals with them directly. Gasper wasn't keep on open type fonts last I checked. -Arun |

Has it > got a rendering engine for Indic scripts for Opentype fonts? Yudit do not depend on the native OS for font support. I have't used it under any windows, but in linux it works beautifully. > I did actually download it for Windows and tried both on Win98 and > WinXP. I selected Kannada.

You need to select an open type font which can support Kannada I think code2000 or ArialUni has kannada support, then you need to select an input method for kannada, I think an inscript input method is present in yudit. Once this two steps are completed you should be able to see kannada in yudit. Please get back to me if any problems happens. raj |
