For information about using code page settings, see Starting and opening drawings. For these types of text, you must use code page settings in the Open or Import dialog boxes to set the proper characters. However, you can display the text correctly by selecting it and converting it back to Unicode by using the appropriate code page.Įncoding settings do not affect the display of text outside the drawing window, such as keywords, filenames, and text entries in the Object manager and Object data manager dockers. Therefore, this may cause some text to display incorrectly in CorelDRAW. If the code page is not specified when you open a document, CorelDRAW uses a default code page to convert the text. (949 ANSI/OEM - Korean), CorelDRAW converts code page 949 to Unicode. For example, if you import an older document that includes 8-bit ANSI text that uses a specific code page (e.g. When you open or import a drawing that contains text, CorelDRAW converts the encoding system that was used in the file to Unicode. In CorelDRAW, all text that is added to a document is encoded using the Unicode character set. To display text correctly in any languageĭisplaying text correctly in any language You might also like to see §3 (on p 4) for more details on the Malayalam dot reph.Quick links to procedures on this page: But Bengali doesn't seem to have post-base VA unlike Malayalam so you may have to look out for that.įWIW I have attached a document (ODT and PDF) showing the desired rendering of the reph (using the e-Malayalam OTC font from the 'Indolipi' package which hack-renders the Malayalam RA + Virama combination as the reph) and the equivalent Bengali sequences in two standard Bengali fonts. Why Bengali? Because it also has two part vowel signs ো ৌ like Malayalam ൊ ോ ൌ and the reph also. Would help in keeping the size of the font under check.ĭesired rendering of dot reph and comparison of Bengali syllable I'm not much knowledgeable about but isn't the feature tag for reph characters spelt as 'reph' or 'rphf' or Basically if you treat this 0D4E character equivalent to the cluster-initial RA + VIRAMA sequences of other Indic scripts, especially Bengali, I think it would be sufficient. I would only suggest that if you do use akhanda ligatures that you use composite glyphs instead of duplicating existing outlines.

So I leave it to you people to decide how to implement this. That said, I myself am not knowledgeable about all this GPOS-GSUB thing - I'm more a Graphite person. After all, that is what GPOS is for, isn't it? To position combining marks properly? One solution is to use akhanda ligatures as Santosh says but that is just a hack. However, as Santosh says (and I already said) there will be a problem with the positioning. So probably you can just treat it like the reph of other scripts. The only difference is that Malayalam has a distinct character for this whereas in other scripts it is just RA + VIRAMA which is rendered as the reph. I am guessing that they are treating the dot_reph character just like any other reph in any Indic script - move it to the end of the syllable. One Microsoft engineer replied that they use reordering for this. I hope this is sufficient feedback for supporting this character which is important for old Malayalam orthography. DOT_REPH + GA + VIRAMA + GA etc) so you will have to be able to position this character above stacked consonant clusters.

Note that most often it is found with doubled consonants (i.e. I think the e-Malayalam OTC font ( ) has pre-composed glyphs using this character on top of other consonants which might help you in positioning this character. See the original proposal bottom of page 3 and top of page 4. The special rendering is that it should be placed on top of the character *following* it. Note that this character is a special rendering character (hence the dotted box around it in the code chart ). You might need to do some smart font programming to position the dot reph correctly.

As such it should be made available for full Unicode 6.0 (or 6.1) support. This character was encoded to support the old Malayalam orthography. Try to use 0D4E MALAYALAM LETTER DOT REPH Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):Ģ. However I find that the Lohit Malayalam 2.5.1 release downloadable from does NOT provide support for 0D4E MALAYALAM LETTER DOT REPH.Īs this is one of the three Malayalam characters encoded for Unicode 6.0 (see and search for 0D4E) it should also be supported. It was announced ( ) that the latest 2.5.1 version Lohit fonts support latest Unicode 6.0 characters.
