Language Fonts

[LadyFlynt]

I downloaded a language font. Figured out how to get to it in Word. But how do I get to it for use online?

Please speak to me like a 2yr old on this one. I will need step by step. I should do okay without a picture book though...

Bumping, because I have seen ya'll do crazy stuff like this with Greek and Hebrew on here. Don't make me go signature hunting!

Are you using Windows?
If so which version of Windows?
Which fonts?
Are they .ttf fonts?
Did you put them in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts?

 

[LadyFlynt]

Are you using Windows? Yes
If so which version of Windows? XP
Which fonts? Cherokee from Cherokee Nation
Are they .ttf fonts? Yes
Did you put them in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts? Yes

Yes to all the above. It's Cherokee font and the system is XP

Yes to all the above. It's Cherokee font and the system is XP

And I take it the font is ok in Word but doesn't work right on webpages with your browser.

I believe she's wondering how to use it in, for example, a post on the forum, not trying to get it to display. Correct?

LadyFlynt, if it is a unicode font, it should work on any internet page. If it is not, then only people who have that font installed can read it. Unicode fonts use a standard set of internet symbols to come with the font. Hence every computer that uses the internet symbols can read it. If there is a Cherokee font that is unicode (and you can probably google it and find it), that would work on the internet. To use it in PB, all you would have to do is type something in your word processor, and then copy and paste it into the post here.

If it is a browser issue, I found this advisory:

NOTE: Due to some bug or design feature, newer Mozilla browsers (Firefox) are unable to render the Cherokee font. If you want to see translations in Cherokee, try using Internet Explorer.

Correct...I want to know how to open it up for use in a post and such. It's not that I'm having trouble using it, it's that I don't even know how.

No, I know how to access it in Word, but don't know how to access it in my browser. How do I access it for using in posts, emails, and such?

Try copy-pasting from Word to the browser and see if that works.

I've been scared to do that, because I did it on YIM and it locked it in with gibberish. I had to close out and reopen to turn it off.

Here goes: 

Yeah, that didn't work.

I have no idea if it's unicode. I don't even know what "unicode" is. Seriously, I'm a 2yr old about this stuff...point and click.

I tried the copy and paste from Word to the PB and it came up with "dominos", not font.

Here is a source of a free unicode font for Greek and Hebrew, with instructions:

Tyndale House:

I installed it a while back and have no trouble copying characters from a Word doc to the PB.

Thank you, but I'm working with Cherokee at the moment I downloaded the font from Cherokee Nation

Try one of these:

Ooops. I thought Cherokee was a trade name, not a language!

 

[LadyFlynt]

I downloaded 3 of those, none of them work in Word and I still can't copy and paste the Cherokee Nation one onto here. Nor do I know how to open any of those three for internet use (I tried switching it in options and it still types just as I'm typing now...no Cherokee characters).

Looks like it may be more of a hassle than I thought. Bookmarking this page.

Try some of these.

Same issue with those, Lane. I'm going to have to play with my settings later. I'm in the middle of class now :sigh:
