Forthcoming Lekhani 3.0 will be a Unicode based multilingual editor. It used to render and record text in a non standard encoding! Its last version was 2.1.
#HINDI LIKE ENGLISH FONTS SOFTWARE#
Our first software was called LeKhaNi (Lekhni - Windows 95). To try / use SuNāgarī just type /t in your browser or click here So buying 'Sugam' is same as buying 'Akhil HE'.
#HINDI LIKE ENGLISH FONTS FREE#
Other small components of Sugam are free for all of our customers. 'Akhil HE' is the main component of our software 'Sugam'.
There are lots of advantages of using this smart font. Its quality can be fully appreciated while typesetting multilingual text. It is an optimised, synchronised and professionally instructed (hinted) smart font.
This type software contains a logical set of DevaNagari glyphs (we call ' Saral Nagari') along with ASCII characters (regular Roman alphabets etc.). We have designed and programmed a cool OpenType smart font - 'Akhil HE'. Then only we can properly typeset Hindi text along with English directly even in plain/simple text editors like Notepad. So for Hindi etc., we need additional DevaNagari OpenType font/s of acceptable quality. But fonts of complex scripts (particularly Indic ones) are just there to fulfill international requirements. Some of these fonts (generally those with only European characters) are of high quality. These operating systems have lots of fonts. These operating systems (like Windows 7, 10) don't require additional software to enter and render text in most of the scripts. Modern operating systems which are Unicode based can directly let you enter text in most of the scripts. Lots of the Indians live below poverty line and it is not feasible for most organisations in India to keep upgrading! Unicode compliant OpenType Fonts
#HINDI LIKE ENGLISH FONTS CODE#
Lots of characters of these scripts have one to one correspondence! So transliteration between various Indian scripts is not difficult! Code points for the characters of these scripts in Unicode (as per ISCII) are arranged according to a common plan.Įnabling smart fonts properly in older computers should be a priority. Most of the scripts of the Indian subcontinent largely follow similar rules for formation of syllables. Though there was ISCII (Indian Script Code for Information Interchange) but no system vendor supported it! Then came Unicode Indic code charts of Unicode were taken from ISCII-88! This was one of the reasons why small setups like ours suffered. Unicode for DevaNagariīefore Unicode, Indians were using various encodings as there was no practical standard for processing Indic scripts in computers. So we need computer types (fonts) and software that can allow, store and render (display) multilingual text. English is also used by a lot of Indians. The 'Nagari' (aka 'Devanagari') script is used by millions for writing text of Hindi, Nepali, Marathi, Sanskrit and some dialects in Indiā, Nepāl, Māuritius, Fiji, Trinidād and Guyānā. We will be including support for other Indian scripts in our type software when we break even! Typesetting MultiLingual text of Now some people want to have our smart font called 'Akhil HE', but few are willing to pay for it. There wasn't real demand for our font/s for various reasons till 2005. This software solution was for typesetting Hindi, Marathi, Nepali (& other languages written using DevaNagari) alongwith English (Roman letters). We started selling these software & fonts for personal computers from 1995. In 1991, Akhilesh Gupta started developing fonts and related software for processing DevaNagari text. So 'smart fonts' can be termed as 'type software'. Smart Fonts include logical tables along with graphical data & hinting instructions of letter forms.
