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?

Comment on Announcing Project Silpa by Appaji Ambarisha Darbha

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/

Comment on Hacking the GLMatrix screensaver by Chris Eiffel

Thanks for the entry. After fixing some tricky dependencies, I modded the glmatrix to be a cyan color to match my blue backlight keyboard. Strangely enough it wasn’t as easy as modding the picture file. I changed line 771 of glmatrix.c to g = 0xCC; b = 0xFF;
