Using Local Font in Dictionary and Form

Post by Socio »

Dear all,
Greetings.

I want to use local language (Oriya - India) font in both dictionary and form in CSPro.
It is not accepting the font and showing different characters, however it is working in CAPI mode (questions).

Is there any solution to that.
Thank you.

Have you tried typing directly into the CSPro dictionary editor? It may be a problem with pasting from word.

Dear Josh

Thank you for your help. Yes its working however, its not my local language and I can't type too.
Is there any other means which we can copy and paste from word file.

Thank you.

The problem is that the dictionary does not support rich text (text with fonts). It only supports plain text. Since the document you are pasting from is rich text, the font information is not transferred when you paste from Word. The only way to enter another language into the dictionary editor is to type it in that language. To do that you need to change the Windows input language. To do that you need to enable the language in the control panel and then you can switch to it using the language bar:

I'm not sure if Windows has built in support for your language but it seems there are some third party applications you can use to type in it. You can find them if you Google "windows oriya keyboard".
