Darya> Does anyone know what that means?

This usually means the font got corrupted somehow and Freetype can't read it.
If you transfered this using FTP, you might want to try again by transfering
in binary mode.

Convert TTF to BDF with ttf2bdf

2000-12-11 Thread Darya Said-Akbari

Hi all,

I like to use an Iranian Unicode-based-true-type-font also under Linux.
When I try to convert the font 'koodamaz.ttf' with ttf2bdf I
get the following error:


akbari@sokrates:~/fonts/ttf2bdf > ttf2bdf ../koodamaz.ttf 
ttf2bdf[771]: unable to create instance.

Does anyone know what that means? 

regards
Darya

Hello Donnie,

The Windows NT4 charmap does a fair job of this, and the Windows 2000 one
does a better job.

Neither will support absolutely everything under Unicode that a font might
support, but they both cover most of the territory.

Hello,

I was looking for a Unicode character map that works in the Windows
32 bit
environment and shows ALL ALT CODES (including those above alt+255) to
achieve a specific character when I stumbled on this site and thought you
may be able to help me out with a link or program name. Any help you can
provide would be greatly appreciated.

Re: your guidance

2000-12-11 Thread Michael (michka) Kaplan

I sent private e-mail explaining that what they want (the ability to input
text not supported by the system) is not really an option under Windows,
except perhaps through hacks (and maybe some third party products, though I
do not know of any that would handle all the languages he is thinking of).

Of course, if I had known that they were sending mail privately to everyone
who responded to them on the list, I might not have taken the time.

greetings,

 I am working on an assignment(site builder) and am supposed to make it
unicode compatible.

I have also downloaded WEFT and it is working well for some indian
fonts.

PROBLEM  is:
My site is on the server and I give an option to the user to enter
characters in his language in a text area of a html page. Now how should

I store,save and reflect this data on the html page?

Let us assume that the user enters some characters (in his language) in
a text area of a html page and submits to the server by using some
editor . My question is how should my server catch them,store them and
display them back not only to THIS  user but to all users who access his

site.


I request your guidance in this behalf.

Thanks and regards,
Sreekanth Devarakonda
