Tamil unicode font

Oct 7, 2010 10:19 PM

We have a problem in displaying a simple tamil unicode glyph text in TLF or Flash Text Engine.

When the following tamil text is pasted the ெ  glyph (or ligature) gets jumbled up.

அகர முதல எழுத்தெல்லாம் ஆதி
பகவன் முதற்றே உலகு.

 

it becomes like:

அகர முதல எழுெத்தல்லாம் ஆதி
பகவன் முதறே்ற உலகு.

    Just to be clear,

    You want the top line, and you get the bottom one; correct?

     

    The top line is set in Latha, Vista version. This font supports the "new" Tamil OpenType spec (via the tam2 script tag). The bottom line is set in Arial Unicode MS, which supports the "old" Tamil OpenType spec (via the taml script tag).

     

    FTE (and TLF) support only the "new" fonts.

     

    Eric.

    Many thanks for saving Muller. And thanks to FTE too.

     

    Found some more "new" fonts which works as well.
