Summary: an editor should use the indic font when indic typing is being done Product: Wine Version: 1.3.23 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: usp10 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: fast.rizwaan@gmail.com
Created an attachment (id=35341) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=35341) the hindi characters are shown as boxes
When typing hindi in wine apps, only boxes are shown, it would be nice if wine could 'use' automatically the language related font (available fonts) and font substitution from ~/.fonts.conf, at least mangal or arial unicode ms or their substituion font should be used. It is better than empty boxes. :)
likewise, some indic language fonts only have part of latin characters like numbers and symbols but not ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ characters, wine should try to use default font for latin if there are not glyphs avaialble for a language.
Thanks. Please see the video and attachment hindi_font_boxes.rtf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMtwEHp6gvw
