Re: Merry Christmas

I'm also cutting and pasting. How do you get a keyboard driver?

I don't know where we stand on the issue of standards regarding Armenian fonts and keyboard drivers; but the following site seemed one of the most comprehensives:

But will these drivers work on the forum? I just tried the Freenet one and I got a bunch of funky Latin letters.

Those who have the appropriate fonts should see it - as it is now with the cut-and-paste.

Apparently, the driver is not compatible with the fonts that you have already installed. I will look into it next week.

The keyboard driver will map the keys to an internal representation. Some applications - such as a browser - map the internal representation into graphic forms. Their are many different internal representations i.e. coding of the keys and fonts. Maybe, your browser/system does not know how to render graphically the particular font - internal representation/encoding - that is used by that particular keyboard driver.

Copy-pasting it is.

Sorry, I forgot that with the NLS driver you have to use either Arial AM or Courier AM. Since the AC forum specified its own fonts, the character encodings don't render to anything that makes sence.

Re: Merry Christmas

So, this is what you do.

type [ FONT="Arial AM"][/FONT ] and inside type with the driver turned on. The problem is when you type you'll see jiberrish, but when you click submit, the Armenian font will show up.

The above would probably force the insertion of an HTML font tag with the attributes set properly, in the generated HTML page. However, the browser would still need to be able to render the HTML page graphically - i.e. have knowledge of the proper font.
