Hi all,

  i am developing a site using PHP & Mysql with Apache srvr. I want to develop a page that shows MALAYALAM text (regional language in kerala, India). I came to know that there is a tool called WEFT that can generate web enabled font types. so i hav downloaded the WEFT3.

  but i dont know how to use it to generate a MALAYALAM web page? I hav follwed the instructions from many tutors, and i hav got some files like MLTTKAR1.eot, but still i cant display malayalm page. so can anyone tell me the entire procedure for this, or link to any resource by which i can accomplish this...

  thanks a lot for ur valuable time...

regards
toms

Hi,
    You can very well use malayalam fonts with WEFT, follow these steps :-
1). Install the font on machine you have weft on.
2). run weft and update the font database when prompted.
3). Select the html page which has malayalam content.
4). Analyse it with weft or skip analysis if you are selecting the subset level manually.
5). To be sure click on subset tab and select all characters available in your font.
6). Input the URL where you want to use the dynamic fonts.
7). Select the destination you want weft to generate the EOT's for you.
Cool. Copy the CSS code generated by WEFT between and tags of your pages.
if you are using EOT on a CMS or dynamically genereated pages make sure you include the css tag/file in all pages which have the language content. 
 
See ya,

Hi,
    Did you included the IP or the local URL in the allowed root list when you generated the font objects.
 
you can click on the Subset tab after selecting the font in the used font window of WEFT and see all the characters available are Highlighted which the font has. you can also choose from different level of pre-defined subsets Weft has.
 
See ya,

Hi,
    You need to enter all the URL's you are going to use the EOT on, Its a Mandatory Requirement to enter/allow atleast one IP or a URL for your EOT to Work.
 
You can enter the URL in Allowed Root List which is window thats just before you Generate Font Objects.

Hi,
    EOT you have attached is bind to these two URL's
1). Localhost/font/
2).D :  EasyPHPwwwfont
 
you can test yoru pages for the above locations. to be able to use the EOT on your website, try adding the URL in the mirror site list.
 
see ya,
prabudh

Hi Tom,
 
Please remember that U can only use the WEFT based pages from the Root which U entered while processing that page from WEFT.
In the current case As u said the Root page is
Localhost/font/ & D :  EasyPHPwwwfont
1.
accoring to me U Do not need to put /Fonts
While prorcessing the pages it will be better it U put the complete path like http://localhost (No /Fonts)
For the HTML .ASP Pages which are again on the root of UR Website use the
  src: url(MLTTKAR0.eot); path in your procesed Page.
For all the other pages under the sub directories use the relative path for the EOt
Example :   src: url(./../MLTTKAR0.eot);
2.
Accessing the pages from Network :
Remember that U have only given http://localhost in UR Root list.
& For network U R Accessing the  pages http://computername
This enrty must be included in you root list
3.
Subsetting :
If u have used just a,b,c,d words (I don't know MALAYALAM) in UR index page which U have passed through WEFT the genrated  EOT will only able to display those words .
If U use same EOT for other page it wont B able to show you the other word than a,b,c,d,.
For the same resone while processing through WEFT the screen where it give U all the font name which is used in that page click on the SUBSET button this will give U all the word aviable in that Font screen will highlight only the words used in that page(a,b,c,d).
For highlighting/ enabling other words Click on then & then say OK...
 
Let me know if U need any additional help ....
