Allother software like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw support indic languages so why affinity not ? please insist on this matter and fix this, without unicode indic language support designer not choose your product because you not provide indic language support features still version 2.0

However, it does have what appears to be a bug tag, AFD-1907, and so it may be accepted as a bug by Serif, unlike the requests for RTL language support. It may also, though, be one that will be difficult to fix as you suggest.


I also need this fixed ASAP. The glyphs can be found in "Glyph Browser" in fonts like "Arial Unicode MS" or "Tiro Devanagari Sanskrit" so I am sure, there must some way to fix this. Please bump this up. It is unacceptable, that this hasn't been fixed since V1. Ligatures need to be working properly in any graphic software like Affinity products, otherwise we will be kept stuck.


Thank you for your reply. I purchased latest Affinity publisher 2 for ipad - now current version 2.0.4, still indic unicode kannada font showing wrong. Here I attached a screenshot of adobe fresco example with affinity publisher.


The program developers at Serif are shamelessly evading the issue or putting forth one lame excuse or another for not addressing the problem. I suggest that for your simple DTP or page layout needs, the Microsoft Word is enough. If you have Microsoft Publisher, that is a bonus point. Go for them. These programs also support the R to L scripts like Arabic and Urdu. But for your complex layout needs, you have no choice except swallowing the bitter pills like Adobe and Quark. If Serif don't give a damn for your pleas, pay them back in the same coin.


The FREE programs Gimp and Inkscape fully support the Unicode Devanagari (Hindi) and Gurmukhi (Punjabi) fonts. These programs are better than the competing Serif programs. There are excellent training videos on YouTube for them. Microsoft Word and FREE Libre Office are very good for simple layout and DTP jobs. Word and Libre Writer can handle Arabic and Urdu fonts as well.


My only concern to voice for alternatives is because I'm disheartened by Affinity's lack of response to our requests for Indic font support. One of their visions is to ensure accessibility for all, but they still don't listen to us.


Several pages on Wikipedia use Indic scripts to illustrate the native representation of names, places, quotes and literature. Unicode is the encoding used on Wikipedia and it contains support for a number of Indic scripts. However, before Indic scripts can be viewed or edited, support for complex text layout must be enabled on your operating system, otherwise mojibake will appear. Some older operating systems do not support complex text rendering and you should not use such systems to edit Indic scripts.


This page lists the methods for enabling complex text rendering based on the operating environment or browser you are using. Many of the methods highlighted can also be used for non-Indic complex scripts such as Arabic.


If the rendering on your computer matches the rendering in the images for the scripts, then you have already enabled complex text support. You should be able to view text correctly in that script. However, this does not mean you will be able to edit text in that script. To edit such text you need to have the appropriate text entry software on your operating system.


To type in Devanagari script, use of InScript इन्स्क्रप्ट keyboard is a permanent and easy solution. Inscript is standard developed by CDAC and approved by Government of India.


Baraha and PramukhIME are Phonetic based software and includes nearly all of Indic languages. Baraha Direct included in Baraha Package supports both ANSI & Unicode while Baraha IME supports only Unicode.


Supports: Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, Tibetan. The default Bengali font, Vrinda, appears too small, so it might be desirable to install another font. The same applies to the default Tibetan font.


The pre-installed Khmer fonts in Windows Vista and Windows 7 are generally considered illegible because of their tiny default point. If desired these fonts may be replaced with other Khmer Unicode fonts available online. See Google Fonts - Khmer or for a list of Khmer Unicode fonts.


The pre-installed Tibetan fonts in Windows Vista and Windows 7 known as "Microsoft Himalaya" is generally considered illegible because of their tiny default point. If desired the font may be replaced with a fix to the size - "Big Microsoft Himalaya". See Google Fonts - Tibetan or [1] to replace "Microsoft Himalaya" with "Big Microsoft Himalaya".


Another alternative is User:Keymanweb/Keymanweb which provides a web-based keyboard that is integrated into Wikipedia and supports 300 languages, including most of the complex scripts listed on this page. The ISIS keyboards are available through Keymanweb.


You do not need to do anything to enable viewing of Indic text as long as you have installed a suitable font. The Indic text will be displayed by Safari or most other Cocoa applications, which fully support rearrangement and substitution for AAT-based fonts, and it will be displayed by Firefox after 4.0 which fully supports rearrangement and substitution for OpenType-based fonts by using HarfBuzz. Opera also provides some support, although considerable bugs remain as of version 11.01 (though Opera at least renders the glyphs).


i) Open "International" located within System Preferences and select the "Input Menu" tab.(ii) Check the option for "Devanagari" and/or "Devanagari - QWERTY".(iii) Check the "Show input menu in menu bar" option at the bottom of the "International" panel. Close the panel, and the new keyboard(s) should be available for selection when you click on the menu bar icon (upper right corner).

You do not need to do anything to enable viewing of Indic text in GNOME 2.8 or later. Older versions may have support for some, but not all Indic scripts. Ensure you have appropriate Unicode fonts for each script you wish to view or edit.


Smart_Common_Input_Method supports text input in Indic languages including phonetic layout. SCIM should be working by default in recent distributions. More instructions on using and configuring SCIM can be found on help.ubuntu.com [2]


Start the Add/Remove software applet. For example, in KDE, say, navigate to System and then Add/Remove software.In the applet window, select Languages on the list box to your left hand side. In the right hand side list box, select the Indian languages of interest to you.


It has been observed that for Kannada, Fedora not only puts in Kannada keyboard support, but also provides transliteration support and also the keyboard support for KGP (Kannada Ganaka Parishad) keyboards. With this feature, users can directly type in Kannada words in Roman script to be transliterated to Kannada text in the application of your choice. For example, into your browser, text editor, document editor, email client etc. Users can also use native Kannada keyboards, KGP based or otherwise to type in Kannada texts directly.


Study the USE flags and the LINGUAS flags and set them accordingly depending on your desktop environment and language support needed.The following needs to be set whenever you login (append it to your .xinitrc or .xsession).


Slacko PPM (Puppy Package Manager) will install packages from the Slackware Repository, including the indic fonts package . If the package lists are up to date, and PPM is set to show the Slackware repository, searching for the word "indic" in PPM will show the package to click on if PPM is set to show the Slackware repository (There is no package for indic fonts in the Puppy Slacko repository .).


Slackware uses slapt-get instead of apt-get , and it is used the same way apt-get is used in Debian based systems . By following the Debian instructions above for using apt-get, one should be able to figure out how to install indic fonts with slapt-get . (i.e. Just do the same thing except add the letters "sl" at the beginning .)


The governmental Department of Information Technology (India) has provided Unicode Indic fonts for four of the Indic scripts used in India (several versions for Devanagari, one version for each of Kannada, Malayalam and Tamil).


This paper provides an introduction to the major Indic scripts used on the Indian mainland. Those addressed in this paper includespecifically Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu.


I have used XHTML encoded in UTF-8 for the base version of this paper. Most of the XHTML file can be viewed if you are running WindowsXP with all associated Indic font and rendering support, and the Arial Unicode MS font. For examples that require complex rendering in scripts notyet supported by this configuration, such as Bengali, Oriya, and Malayalam, I have used non-Unicode fonts supplied with Gamma's Unitype. To view allfonts as intended without the above you can view the PDF file whose URL is given above.


Although the Indic scripts are often described as similar, there is a large amount of variation at the detailed implementation level. Toprovide a detailed account of how each Indic script implements particular features on a letter by letter basis would require too much time and spacefor the task at hand. Nevertheless, despite the detail variations, the basic mechanisms are to a large extent the same, and at the general levelthere is a great deal of similarity between these scripts. It is certainly possible to structure a discussion of the relevant features alongthe same lines for each of the scripts in the set. It is these common themes that this discussion will attempt to highlight, although we will alsomention some of the more important deviations from the common path.
