Hello,

 I have dragged and dropped a true type font for an Indic script

into Squeak. Because it is converted to a strike font, it doesn't show the glyphs correctly. In particular those glyphs that must overlap on the previous glyph, don't show completely. Their parts that overlap go missing.

Now, I'm getting curious that why you think it granted that dragging and dropping does the exact right thing^^;

 I am guessing that this is because it gets converted to a Strike

font. Could you tell me if there is a way by which I could use the true type font as is. That's because Microsoft word and other Microsoft Windows applications show the text fine with the font.

What Microsoft Windows applications can do is not always what Squeak can do (and vice versa). Squeak trys to be "platform-independent"; it has its advantage, but the indic scripts are not supported by today's Squeak by any sense.

 Kindly help. Is there any other way out. Any url's for reference

would also be of great help.

There is a lot to do (i.e. write code) to make it work. Sorry about that.

By the way, Is Mr. Prabhakar Katlakunta and you working with you? If not, he just sent around pretty much the same question a few days ago. To strengthen the Squeak community network in Indea, it would be a good thing for both of you to communicate with each other.
