Dear Experts,

I have read several discussions on this VTT users community message board, and find you'll are much ahead of what I am involved with.

I am trying to get a better visual diaplay of the Unicode compatible font in 'Sinhala' which is just completed.

I need your help to 'jump start' hinting of this font which was originally a type1 font, crudely dispayed on the screen.

Please, advise the quickest way to get this font reasonably well displayed on the screen using, VTT I have just got from Si (-Thanks Si).

I have read the papers & help on MS knowledge base, but it looks quite a complex procedure to figure-out where to start and how to go.

Could someone who has experience in hinting 'Indic' fonts that has more Curves than Vertical & Horizontal stems, please help me.

Regards,
Anura

Hi Sam,

 

Could you kindly elaborate on the procedure, as I am not very familiar with VTT.

 

Thanks, and merry christmas
