Does anyone know how to use Armenian fonts on Vista?

[ArmSurvival]

I've looked on many sites and can't find any compatible ones that are actually 'gogig' and readable. Does anyone know where I could download a free Armenian font for Vista?

Or if there are people familiar with Vista who can tell me how to activate the Armenian font already on here, that would be good too, because I tried and it won't work.

One reason why I need it is because there are many sites in Armenian which my computer cannot reveal (some work, many don't). I also want it to be able to type in Armenian... there is actually an online converter which I had no problem using, but ever since I started using Vista, when I paste the Armenian letters into Microsoft Word, there are all these gaps between the letters which I can't get rid of. Any help would be appreciated.

You know the places where you can choose the language, you go there and you choose Armenian and you can type with eastern and western Armenian

you can open any armenian newspaper site, (for my part I used the Aztag)either hayasdanci or spurkahye and look into the margins, there is always a 'download armenian fonts' there and they specify for every windows program, vista, xp, 2003 etc. just download them from there and you can read all the armenian press + armenian sites using armenian as a language

I tried that, it won't work. I might be doing it wrong, but I don't know. Plus, Vista only has eastern Armenian, and I need western.

I tried this too, but I haven't seen a font that says its compatible with Vista. It only goes up to Windows 2003 (if you have seen one thats compatible with Vista, please send the link)

Have you pushed alt+shift to change between fonts

LOL... Ya alt+shift worked, thanks for that. But 2 problems: It only has eastern Armenian, and I need western. Ya I know its the same alphabet but its so much easier for me to do it in western, since I'm western Armenian and I'm already used to the western layout on the keyboard.

And the 2nd problem is the biggest one, and its with microsoft word-- there are huge gaps between letters which I can't fix. It basically looks like this:

Մի ք ր ո ս ո ֆ դ ի ն մայ րը դ աղ ե մ :

You can't even tell where one word starts and the other ends when you look at it.

Re: Does anyone know how to use Armenian fonts on Vista?

True... Vista sucks ass, its just like XP except with better graphics and more problems. I had none of these problems on XP, but when we got a new computer it came with Vista which I was not aware of until it was too late (I didn't buy the thing). I was actually pissed when I set it up and I saw Vista starting up... I used it in school for a whole semester and didn't like it, so it wasn't like I had never tried it out before.

Maybe I need to finally repair my other computer which has been in the trunk of my car for like 4 months, ever since it crashed and wouldn't start up anymore. But from the symptoms I think I just need to replace the motherboard.

The problem with Windows though, is they put every tiny option up to the user. If you know about computers, you have more performance options than with a Mac. But for the average joe like myself its a pain in the ass. An example of this is a music program I recently bought-- worked perfectly on my friend's Mac, but on my Vista, I can't access like 95% of the program, because there are a few settings which I probably need to change.

Anyways if you guys figure out how to fix the spacing problem in miscrosoft word, or if you stumble on a western Armenian font for Vista, indzi hishetsek
