character encoding issues
Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2007 10:44 am
Guys,
I just didnot know where to post this question since it sounds like an off topic. But I just thought I'd ask you for some help/direction.
You know I am trying to figure out how sites that use character like korean or chinese - how does it work. In Bengali, like this site http://www.prothom-alo.org they use embedded font object since people who access this site dont have the same font on their machine.
For bengali language, windows xp has very limited support but vista is coming with greater support. But without having any support is it possible to create a site in bengali that will be vewiable to public without having the same font installed and at the same time that will over come some of the present limitations such as no searching is possible now. Also, if you copy and paste something from the site into some program its all giberish.
Any idea what would be a starting point?
Best.
