Sirs, There are certain corrections required for Kannada characters. Actually correctness varies with the version of the windows OS and the version of MS office! Now, my questions are:Is this problem concerned with the unicode consortium Can a private party develop an engine that generates unicode letters, that works across the platforms (or a platform free). There are couple of old kannada characters and some special characters are also required to be displayed.Further, any information on these lines would be very helpful. Regards,KS Naveen
