Is this only with ms word 2003? Does notepad render the characters correctly?
thanks, -aric
Yes, notepad has different rendering issues, but in notepad the text is shaped properly, whereas in word 2003, characters with small i ि matra and ra+halant (reph forms) are shaped incorrectly.
moreover, the word document .doc file opened with libre-office writer or calligra words shows proper text; so the saving is ok, but not shaping in word 2003.
notepad, wordpad, Excel 2003 also correctly shows the characters as expected.
but powerpoint 2003 shows no hindi character (i'll report this separately)
thanks.
