[Therion] Hindi font in Therion label or header text string

[Bruce Mutton]

Thanks Martin

So without actually trying that, is it possible to have multiple script systems (beyond the 5 <ss> <it> etc variations) in play at once? ie the latin/roman I am typing this message in and Hindi script system? लघु

And if so, how do we choose which is in use, or switch script system mid-string, since Hindi is not a language Therion has ‘built in’, so presumably <lang:hi> might not work?

 

Cheers

Bruce

It should work if you set up ttf/otf fonts  covering Hindi in therion.ini using "pdf-fonts" keyword.

Just curious if it is (easily) possible to include fonts/special characters from languages not supported by Therion.

It may be written in the documentation, but regarding fonts I’m naïve and inexperienced :)

I want to write लघु (ie laghu, means small in Hindi) in a map header along with some English text.

My backup strategy is to include a bitmap as a map-image.

 Thanks

Bruce
