Sir, Have you read my earlier posts in answer to your questions? Have these posts helped you?

Good, that is a start, although I still think you would be better with one of the more recent fltk-1.1.8 forks, or possibly with fltk-2. > Can someone tell me where should I have to write > programs to handle typographical display like conjunct > charecters. All fltk can do is display the Unicode character glyphs. The variant characters and conjuncts etc., that you need are all encoded in the Unicode character set, so fltk can display them, but you need to provide a means to transliterate from the basic character representation of the text, into the variant character typographically correct layout for display. Fltk provides no means to handle typographical issues such as conjunct characters etc. For that you will need to build a "CTL engine" (Complex Text Layout engine) to apply the typographical rules of your language to the stream of characters that need to be displayed. So you need to provide a mechanism for reading the Unicode character sequence (in utf-8 as used by fltk, or what ever Unicode representation format is best for you) and then your program needs to look for typographically significant sequences, conjuncts, etc., and output a modified utf-8 sequence that represents the glyphs for the variant characters etc. This is the job of the "CTL engine". This is a difficult task. I do not think anyone has undertaken this task for Bengali languages using fltk, so you are breaking exciting new ground here. It is unlikely anyone will have relevant prior experience to help you. For the gtk toolkit, the CTL engine is provided by PanGo. In principle, it might be possible to get PanGo to build without gtk and use it with fltk to do the CTL for your task. I have not done this - it might be very hard indeed, or perhaps impossible. There are other CTL tools around that might be more suitable for Bengali scripts. > Please specify the file name & the style of change > needed if possible.I am working on VC++ 6.0 on windows > environment. There is no file in fltk that you need to change. You need to *add* a lot of new files to do this. > Plzzzzzzzzzzz HELP ME......... I have tried.
