Hello Debopam! DG> Can anyone suggest on how I can use different fonts(multilingual) in my DG> JSPs, especially when there is a chance that those fonts may not be present on DG> the client's machine.
This is not a problem of fonts. It's a problem of the what charset you use in the Content-Type header: Content-Type: text/html; charset=xxx It is your problem to use such charset that will contain the characters of the language you use. It is a problem of the user to have fonts to support that language. By the HTML 4.0 spec browsers should convert all text received internally to Unicode (or act as if they did it). Then it depends: the browser may have fonts needed to display the resulting Unicode and may not. If you use Chinese chars the user should have at least one Chinese font to be able to view your pages. AFAIK IE 5.5 afferes an option of downloading Chinese support (approx 6Mb) if it comes over a page that uses Chinese characters. Maybe this happens for other langs too. If you use Cyrillic/Greek chars the user should have some Cyrillic font (or he'll see just blank boxes instead of letters) Of course, you may specify downloadable fonts in CSS, but in most cases people do not do that. You may also find some info at http://tagunov.tripod.com/i18n/i18n.html usefull. (Although be critical when you read it, I already know that some things there are rubbish.)
