Hello,

I have been using Joomla since it was Mambo. Recently I have faced urge of using bangla
in the portal contents. So as usual I have applied MS WEFT technic. But unfortunately it was
not workking. Finally I made it work and I hope , if not discussed earlier on this forum (am not sure)
many of you will be find it helpful. I also need suggestion and help from you people to make my site work.

When it works:

Well, I created an .eot for a static html page on my pc . the page had bangla writings in
SOLAIMANLIPI. Then as usual WEFT made me a .eot and I put that eot file on the server.
right after that as shown in the WEFT style sheet hint screen , I added this following code
into th template.css file.
Code:
  @font-face {
    font-family: SolaimanLipi;
    font-style:  normal;
    font-weight: bold;
    src: url(http://www.domain.com/templates/SOLAIMA0.eot);
  }


after that I have added adiv class into the template.css
Code:
/*Bangla starts*/
div.bangla {
      line-height: 150%;
      font-family: SolaimanLipi;
      padding-bottom: 2;
      font-size:190%;
      font-size:36pt;
      color: #000000;
}
/*bangla ends*/


After that when I put bangla (uniocode supported fot ) into the box I select bangla from
the dropdown style box of the Joomla editor. The fonts look a bit fatty-darky and not so kool.
Finally, I have discoverd that in the HTML version of the content it is
Code:
<span class="bangla">
content contentcontent contentcontent contentcontent contentcontent content
content contentcontent contentcontent contentcontent contentcontent content


The moment I changed it from to
it was working as highly visible and
clear fonts for exapmle the text on prothom-alo website.

SO , finally I have figured out some Major Problems:
  • Style sheet and content does not communicate usual way with my piece of css
  • Bangla and English doesnot stay together
  • I couldnot make bangla visible in the titles

OO, one last thing, till the mometn when problems occurred I was not using Bangla language pack.

If there is any one who can help please reply.

ans 1: stylesheet and content: they do not communicate at all. joomla has predefined set of div and class that get embedded in the content texts. You have to know which tag goes where. for example, in your case you should define a spanning class not a div.

ans 2: there is a thread on this issue. it is due to the way fonts are called in windows/IE. EOT is a MS only thing and no one else use/support it. You would get better support in WEFT forum.

ans 3: same thing. EOT are meant to be for content VIEWING only. You cant do anything else with it. You cant use, any browser other than IE, any OS other than Windows. The windows title bar is picked from a system font (which cant be dynamic EOT web font).

hope these help.
