Nudi Font Converter

[Tisa]

Ihave coded my xls form with both English and Kannada language options (with Label::Kanada and hint::Kannada columns in survey and choices sheets). The Kannada text was originally typed in a non-UTF font (Nudi o1 e). I converted it in Excel by selecting each line of text and changing the font it to a UTF-8 Kannada font (Nudi o5 K) that is compatible with both Mac and PC.

In Excel and Google (when uploaded to Google drive) the xls form displays the Kannada font appropriately, when uploaded to Enketo web-preview and when placed on the tablet, the Kannada font displays in an unreadable ASCII form.

I have been looking into this for a while now and have tried saving the xls file as encoded for UTF-8 before uploading to the ODK XLS to Xform converter. Is there anything I am missing in order to get the font to display correctly?

Thank you Yaw! However, the fact that it shows up in excel and google drive, and not the enketo web viewer makes me think there is something else wrong (i.e. it needed to be typed in a unicode font, not just converted). I also ran a survey last year using a Kannada unicode font and it worked well on the same tab. Therefore, I am a little mystified. Will take a look at the image based form link as well.

FWIW, there is no particular issue with the Kannada script in Enketo, and

no need to adjust fonts in Excel (in fact that may actually be the cause).

The issue is with your form (but I don't know what exactly). Somehow the

strings aren't copied correctly.

One easy way to create PDF files is to use a text editing tool, like MS Word, and convert the final document to PDF format. An application that is able to perform these operations is Word to PDF Converter, an efficient plug-in that integrates perfectly on the control bar of MS Word application.

As its name says, this utility allows you to convert a Word document to PDF format from the command menu of MS Word. The main reason I consider this Word to PDF converter a much smarter solution than other similar applications is the fact that it looks and works just like a plug-in, without occupying significant space on your hard drive.

More to that, you will enjoy a wide array of options that will help you improve the appearance of the newly created PDF file, from selecting the proper resolution and compressing text objects to embedding all fonts and choosing the correct color model.

Another thing I like about Word to PDF Converter is that it also allows to set access password to the saved PDF file.
