I can not see myanmar font in Solaris.I want to use zawgyi font in solaris.
Can i use Zaw gyi font of Myanmar font(Burma) in Solaris?.Please answer me.
Zawgyi font can be installed in Solaris platform but you can only use the zawgyi keyboard through Xorgcfg utility.
If your Zawgyi texts are properly encoded in UTF-8 or AL16UTF16, it should not be problem.

When VSCode deals with two languages inside of the editor (the main font has the support of Cyrillic alphabet though), the Russian language shown with a different font, how to get the same font for Russian and English as well?
Example:
<title>"Писатели Якутии"</title>
Is it because your main font does not contain the required UTF subset, so a fall back font is used, or what? If it is true, how to add the required UTF subset to VSCode?
System: macOS Mojave, the latest version of Visual Studio Code.
The answer is, thanks to Reddit:
1) Just use a font with the Cyrillic alphabet as my main font;
2) Add preferred Cyrillic font second in the list of fonts in fontFamily, as in:
"editor.fontFamily": "fontOne, fontTwo",
Do you know which font github uses for its code viewer? I used several web tools to identify the font but no success.
This is the font:
According to the stylesheet, the code is displayed in the first font available on your system:
Consolas (on Windows),
Liberation Mono,
Courier,
monospace
It depends on the fonts you have installed on your computer. For Mac OS X 10.9 it defaults to Courier.
Of course, they may at any point change the font to their liking. E.g. to Comic Sans.
Using Chrome's devtools:
font-family: ui-monospace,SFMono-Regular,SF Mono,Menlo,Consolas,Liberation Mono,monospace;
So, under ideal circumstances, it depends on your browser's settings.
I'm trying to display the heart ♥ Unicode character (U+2665 BLACK HEART SUIT) in this jsfiddle.
Even though I've specified the Droid Sans font, the different browsers are displaying the same character differently. So, I'm assuming that the Droid Sans font doesn't include the ♥ character and the browser must fallback to some other font to display this character. But how does the browser determine which font to use for Unicode characters; as it turns out (from screenshots) that it's not operating system specific as Firefox and Chromium both on Ubuntu display it differently; and also it is not browser specific as Firefox displays it differently on Ubuntu and Windows 7.
So my questions are - How does a browser determine which font to use to display Unicode characters; how can I find out which font is being used by the browser to display Unicode characters; and how can I ensure a consistent look cross-browser?
PS: (Firefox specific) Even though Droid Sans doesn't include the ♥ character, Firefox displays it as in screenshot only when the selected font is Droid Sans. For any other font, Firefox picks up the DejaVu Sans font to display the ♥ character (on Ubuntu, confirmed by hit and trial).
The Droid Sans font does not contain U+2665 BLACK HEART SUIT, so declaring the font is rather irrelevant here. I cannot reproduce the observation in your “PS”, so I’m not trying to explain it.
(A quick way to check character coverage in a font is to download and install the LastResort font. It contains a generic, easily recognizable rendering for all characters, so by using font-family: foo, LastResort on your test text you will quickly find out whether a particular character exists in font “foo”.)
The use of fallback fonts is browser-dependent. Browsers may have settings for this. But the point is that you, as an author, cannot know what happens on other people’s browsers, when your characters cannot be found in the list of fonts you specify (as installed, if installed, in the user’s computer).
I know how to use custom fonts to display CCLabels. I also figured out how to localize the Labels. But I am wondering if there is anyway to display the localized text using custom fonts.
For example when I use Arial I have no problems, the chinese fonts appear correctly. But when I use a font not included in XCode such as ARLRDBD.TTF then the chinese characters do not get displayed.
How can I display the chinese characters in ARLRDBD.TTF too? Or am I stuck with just using the default fonts included in XCode if I plan to use LocalizedString?
Thanks

You should be able to use any font that has Chinese characters in it.
Not all fonts include characters for all languages. Many Western fonts only have the Roman alphabet (A-Z).
You could either use a font that has all the characters you will need (like Arial, or another Unicode font - see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_typeface), or have separate fonts for each language.
I'd suggest a different font for each language.
You could keep it organized with a simple struct.
typedef struct {
NSString *regionname;
NSString *fontname;
} RegionFont;
//later in the code....
RegionFont some_region;
some_region.regionname = #"China";
some_region.fontname = #"Arial";
You can test if a font supports a given language by opening Font Book (standard Mac app) and searching under "All Fonts" for the language you want.
I don't have many custom fonts installed and several with Chinese support come up.
Hope this helps.
You can use custom fonts in your app but you need to make the system aware that they exist using the UIAppFonts key in your Info.plist file. See here for more information.
I was wondering if there is a built-in font for Japanese kana in the iPhone OS?
I was wanting to display kana characters and figured it would be easier to generate them in a UILabel as text versus creating a .PNG and display them in a UIImageView. I would want this to be available to non-Japanese iPhones/iPods. I'm not 100% aware if there are differences in the localizations of them as I could not find any of this info in the Dev. Center. Thank you for our time!
Yes, there's a font which contains Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. I'm not sure if there's a way to specify the style of the font though.
You can type Japanese straight into an 'NSString' and set the label text, it will show up no problem.
**Edit: ** I found this list of fonts on the iPhone, which lists "Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN W3", a Japanese font. You can find it on the Mac too, it's the standard Japanese font. There's also a bold version. There doesn't seem to be a rounded version, just gothic.
