Comment on Phonetic Comparison Algorithm for Indian Languages by Bala Krishnamurthy

Just to clarify, since I see some confusion on this – a language is not the same as a script. So when someone says Sanskrit spelling, it would help to clarify as Sanskrit spelling in Nagari script. The script is just used to express the language in written form, and you can well express Hindi in Latin / Roman script (what you call ‘English’).

OK – what I really wanted to ask was – any chance of a PHP implementation?

Santhosh,

Don’t really know where else to post this so it reaches you….
I am using the webfont extension for merely displaying German print fonts used before 1945. Firefox, IE up to version 6 and safari display those fine, just IE7 and up won’t, no matter which converter I am using to get TTF to EOT. – Is there a hack to get your syntax to work in IE ?

‘FONTNAME’ => array(
‘eot’ => “$fontsPath/frk/Fraktur.eot”, /** This one … does it need an extra declaration ??? */
‘ttf’ => “$fontsPath/frk/Fraktur.ttf”,
‘woff’ => “$fontsPath/frk/Fraktur.woff”,
),

It serves “my” purpose – don’t need a full blown different language for mediawiki, but a good way to display webfonts. Some texts I need to present simply work better using an older font set.

Thanks for your time,
\Lars

Thanks for nice explanation of this utility. I tried this and got very good results with the English text, but when it came to extracting unicode/Indian language text from PDF the out put was recognizable in many of the well known fonts. This must be a well known issue, can you please suggest me a solution?

Santhosh,

Happy to see a project dedicated Indic languages. I developed a unicode telugu font “Ramaneeya” which looks better than LohitTelugu (actually modified LohitTelugu only). I want that to be used as webfont in my websites. I tried following your method and not able to do it successfully. Can you guide me on that? See it at http://www.adityadesign.com/test/
