If the installed font can be used to display text on your Web page then the 'eot' should work in the same way. Perhaps if you have a live example we could look at we could see where you're going wrong.

Dear Friend,

Thanx for the reply. I shall definitely send you the EOT file. Please give me your mail address so that i can mail you the same.  Infact I want to use Thai font, I have a font known as Daniel UPC. Does EOT mean that still on the clients browser the language setting needs to be done. In fact i don't think so. bcoz according the the material for WEFT, the font itself is embedded in the document. Can you send me a sample from your side that uses some other language and not english for displaying in EOT format. It would just be great if you can help me out with the same.

Thanx and Regards

Zaki

Acturally we'd rather see a sample page posted on a live site that we can all look at. First off do a screen grab of how the page looks using the installed font (to prove that the installed font is displaying the text properly).

Then run the page through WEFT and post the resulting eot/s and html to the Web site. Also include the screen grab so that we can compare the results with what the page looks like with the real font installed .

Cheers, Si

I deleted your last message - posting fonts to this community isn't allowed. It would be great if you could follow the advice in the previous message and post a live example to your Web site so that we can all look at. Si

Hello Simond,

Please access my web page on

www.spdemo.com/spddel/multilingual/thai.htm

I checked my site. It shows me thai characters on Windows 2000 machine which has ie5, but on my ie4 machine in the font selection it doesnot display  the thai font.

Inshort, my eot page works fine on ie5  but not with ie4 i   suppose. Is there any thing extra that needs to be installed on my client machine. I even added the language in my IE4  selecting it Thai , but it did not work out.

Please do the needful.

Thanks

Zaki

Well the first problem is that your allowed roots don't match... Your eot contains...

file://E:WORKAREAakiTHAI FONT   and

http://sppl

and not the URL you specify...

www.spdemo.com/

so the eot is never going to work. Perhaps on your IE 5 machine the installed font is being used?

Please read the documentation.

I looked at your page on my Windows 2000 + IE 5 machine - and was surprised to see that the page was rendered in Thai - checked your eot - still broken - still contains the wrong allowed roots.

So what's going on? I saved your page to my desktop and removed the refs to your fonts - eot linking CSS and the FONT FACE declaration. Hit refresh and the page still appeared in Thai - so my guess is that IE spots that the page is Thai encoded and decides to use the default Thai font to render the text (see attached screen capture). Looks like Microsoft Sans Serif to me - could be Tahoma, the other common font that includes Thai.

So I'd still be interested to see the page using your font.

Cheers, Si
