William Overington Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 I know very little about the typography of languages of the Indian subcontinent bit I seem to remember that for some languages from the Indian subcontinent that although special software is needed for ideal renderiing that it is possible to produce an understandable rendering using an ordinary desktop publishing software program.

William Overington Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 I am puzzled. That text in Bangla appears in the Google Translate web page. I copied and pasted to this thread and it works here. But when I pasted into WordPad I got black rectangles and it is listed as the Shonar Bangla font. I have found the following web page. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/shonar-bangla It mentions that the font is supplied with Windows 10, but I have not got it installed.
