suchandra Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Microsoft's New "Segoe UI" Font Dear Maharajas and Prabhus, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki<wbr>/Segoe_UI , this new font comes with Microsoft Vista and MS Word 2007. It's the first "off the shelf" font that I've seen that displays all of the 31 standard ISKCON diacritic characters correctly, including "LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH CHANDRABINDU." Maybe you have it on your computer. One easy way to tell is to simply go to http://llbest.com/ListAvailabl<wbr>eFonts.htm , but that particular web page only works with IE6 or later. Unless you know for sure that you don't have it installed, please try the following: 1. Go to http://pratyatosa.com/Sanskrit<wbr>DiacriticTextConversion.htm . 2. Select "3. Segoe UI." 3. Click "Sample text." 4. If you don't have Segoe UI installed, then you will see a bunch of graphics characters, in which case there's no use going any further. 5. Click "Compress." 6. Click "Zoom in" twice. 7.You should see that all 31 standard ISKCON diacritic characters are displayed correctly using IE, and 30 out of 31 using Firefox. 8. Click "Bold." 9. Click "Italic." 10. Click "Bold" again. 11. If you are using IE, you will see that the last character in the list ("LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH CHANDRABINDU") is always displayed perfectly! Your servant, Pratyatosa Dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
