Thank you for supporting Mnemododo.

Mnemogogo exports cards more or less as they are rendered by Mnemosyne
(though it does make a few generic adjustments to produce HTML more
suited to mobile devices).

Mnemogogo tries to respect Mnemosyne's font settings. Have you tried
explicitly setting a font for the card type (from Configure
Mnemosyne.../Card Appearance)?

Gogorender is a good solution for rendering fonts that do not appear
correctly on your phone. It uses the Qt library to render sequences of
characters as png files which are then exported.

So, if the cards are rendered correctly by Mnemosyne, they should also
be rendered correctly by Gogorender. There is a Gogorender option for
rendering within Mnemosyne without having to export through Mnemogogo.
This can sometimes help with debugging font settings.

Otherwise, as an example of the problem you see, could you please post
a sequence of characters (as unicode) along with a screenshot of how
they should look when rendered?

Timothy, 

Thanks for the reply. I am not sure if this way of replying is correct or not. I am emailing the list directly but this is for the issue we already talked about.

Yes I have set the font set in Mnemosyne and it works fine.

Attached are three examples. I superposed the images exported by Gogorender with what is in Mnemosyne.

I am sorry for the very late reply.

I started a new Mnemosyne database and added these three examples.
They all seem to have been rendered correctly by Gogorender (images
are attached). The only problem I found was that Gogorender did not
respect the "non latin font size increase" setting--now fixed.

Do you still, after all these months, have this problem?

Has an answer to this issue of Burmese font rendering been solved? If so, what is the solution? I am having difficulty using flashcards with Burmese fonts. Thanks!
