Dear Andrea, Thanks for the reply. I am away from my usual place and I have some limitation to access internet So my replies may be a bit late.
The web pages test-1 and test-2 there are minor problem. The small dots above letters are in the wrong place and makes readable a bit difficult and slower. What is required the font used in preparing Tamil content. If the pages few (less than 10), I can type it so that font rendering is 100% correct. Regarding 3rd test page, I have attached a png file. The marking in black is 100% unreadable. (A different font might have been used to prepare this content). The red marked area is with minor problem like test-1 and test-2. But in test-3, all remaining text is 100% correct. If the Tamil pages are few, send me those pages, I will make 100% correct, and send it back to you. (It will be better if you could provide the font name used in the content preparation). I know people who are more knowledgeable in Tamil. I can improve the content if possible taking their help. With Warm Regards V.Kadal Amutham 919444360480 On 8 December 2012 22:27, Andrea Pescetti <[email protected]> wrote: > Kadal Amutham wrote: > >> I copied the source code file of openoffice.org/ta and reposted at >> thewink.in/tamil.
