1. Re: Italic Font problem
Alan Stearns Feb 19, 2010 11:33 AM (in response to gauravp123)When I set Sinhalese text in the Iskoola Pota font, I can apply bold and italic. Which font are you using?
There are some text editors that will fake italics - applying a skew transform to regular glyphs. TLF/FTE does not do this - we will only display italic if there is an italic face for the font with real italic glyphs.

Allen for your invaluable response I am using "amele" font but the problem is that in my application i read the text from xml and there is no italic property it look like <span fontFamily="amele">sinhelese text </span>. I need to apply the italic font so is there any italic feature in amele font .
Thanks again hope we will keep in touch

Alan Stearns Feb 19, 2010 9:37 PM (in response to gauravk.pandey)I'm not familiar with that font, and a google search didn't turn anything up. Do you know where that font originated?
If you change the example you gave above to this:
<span fontFamily="amele" fontStyle="italic">sinhelese text </span>
Does the text show up as italic, or remain regular? If it remains regular I suspect the font does not have italic Sinhalese glyphs, but without access to the font itself I can't tell for sure.

5. Re: Italic Font problem
Alan Stearns Feb 20, 2010 8:14 AM (in response to gauravk.pandey)Ah, an extra 'e' in the name. It looks like that font does not have italic glyphs. It also has the problem where it's merely mapping Roman characters to Sinhalese, so if I turn on a Sinhalese input system I can't type in TLF with that font.
TLF requires relatively current font technology for Sinhalese - we're looking for a Sinahla OpenType table that lets us work with Sinhalese input systems. Try one of the fonts on this page: http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Sinhala.html. Iskoola Pota is the only one I've actually used, but as I said before it does have italic glyphs.
