hi

i think i have installed most corrupted version of openSUSE 11.1

nowhere it works, everywhere problem

but samething works in Fedora…using the same method

what is this i know…

i have download the unicode conversion tools from this site

Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya - Downloads

and compile the jar file using this command

java -jar /home/vikal/Desktop/java/ConversionTools3.0/ConversionTools3.0.jar

then there will be a window

as i wanted to convert nepali font to unicode

i have tried with the nepali.txt file from my hard disk

and press conversion button

which you can also try

and there comes the message like

Conversion success

then i tried to open the conversion files

and this display the font like block block

and if i paste the same block block to here then

it will be like this

ल सरकार
कानून, न्याय तथा संसदीय व्यवस्था मन्त्रालय

same procedure and same method it works in ferora

there will be this ल सरकार
कानून, न्याय तथा संसदीय व्यवस्था मन्त्रालय

but no block there

i got so frustred

but still hoping for good

best regards

Have you a Nepali compatible font installed? If so, you probably need to select that font as the display font. KWord will display Nepali if you have a Nepali font installed that it can use.

If you are using KDE go to Configure Desktop>Font installer and check whether the fonts are present in the list; if not, use Add to add them to the list.

If they are already in the list, they should be available to all KDE applications.

The only thing I can think of is try KDE Community Forums
as this sounds like a KDE problem.

I decided to try myself and think I found the site from which you got them, the instructions for which do not apply to openSUSE.

However, the Font Installer reported a fault with the actual file and refused to install it - which could mean that there is a problem with the Font Installer or with the fonts - but it may be worth trying a different source for your fonts.

Incidentally, when I located the font on the Internet, I simply right-clicked on it to try and download/install it.

I have managed to install the Akshar font from the South Asia Language Resource Centre; this combines some Latin characters with characters from several Indian sub-continent languages along with Nepali.
