RE: No proper representation of Devnagari in Unicode
hey what's the hell it is connecting to some pron site.. -Original Message-From: Arjun Aggarwal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 1:53 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: No proper representation of Devnagari in Unicode Hi Everybody The Unicode character set in it's current form does not support Devnagari well.It has no half characters for the Devnagari script. It is just like not having e a d f in the roman(latin) script. This particular aspect renders it useless to be used by anyone including programmers. The Devnagari script is used to write the third most spoken language of the world - Hindi (spoken by people in almost 10 countries) and a long list of other languages- Sindhi , Pahari , Dogri, Nepali , Sanskrit , Rajasthani , Gharwali , Maithili, Bhojpuri , Marathi , Konkani , Bodo , Ho , Santhali and sometimes even Punjabi , Urdu , Kashmiri and Tibetan. Although the complete Devnagari is available for the Windows font as True Type Font in just the no. of keys on a QWERTY keyboard.Hindi(Devnagari) has it's own typewriter with just the same no. of keys as in a standard English typewriter. The font is also availalable for MacOS , Unix , Xenix and Linux. The best Devnagari font available in it's full useable form is the Shusha font from http://www.bharatbhasha.org .Please check it out form this site. Then why is it that the Unicode committee could not incorporate all the half characters? Instead they incorporated full characters which are seldom used by the users of the various languages that are written in Devnagari . What they could have done is provided half characters in place of the full ones and just provided a DANDA to make them into full ones as and when needed. Can somebody help me out. I just do not seem to understand what to do about it as the Devnagari representation in it's present form is absolutely useless for anybody throughout the world. With Regards Arjun Aggarwal
FW: Information on Arabic Conversion
hi Jeshwanth., I couldn't get your problem, can you tell more specific about your problem ?. To make your system Arabic enable, there are separate Arabic enabled versions of Win 95,98 and NT.

I have an application that doesn't include unicode support at all. Considering this, can I use Uniscribe APIs in my application. The system on which I want to run my application is Windows 98. Specifically, is there any relationship between Uniscribe APIs and Unicode, and if yes, then what exactly it is. Thanks C.Janardhana Guptha Quark, Chandigarh
