Convert Malayalam font to unicode
Posted: Tue May 04, 2010 7:33 am
Hi,
I trying to copy paste contents of MS-word document which is in ML-TTKarthika font (a font used to type Malayalam language) to a HTMl editor. I would like to convert the font to utf8 format and save in a database.
I have tried functions like utf8_encode and mb_convert_encoding to convert the font. but its notworking.
Do ihave to use a mapping file to convert font to Malayalam unicode
I have found a site which provides an API service to convert the font [http://smc.org.in/silpa/ASCII2Unicode] But it says that "Silpa services can be used from any programming language which has an RPC implementation." can i access this service using PHP.
Thanks
Nikhil
