Guest Syed Zeeshan Haider Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Hello Everybody, I have WinXP SP2. I have reinstalled the entire system because my computer had become unstable because of some viruses. After reinstalling everything including Office 2003, Urdu language was not displaying well with Times New Roman font. Yes, I have fully installed Urdu language support both in WinXP and Office. I have used Urdu for very successfully for two years with same settings until the reinstallation. In Times New Roman certain character appeared as rectangles. When those characters were typed in Word 2003, it switched font to Tahoma. I searched around and downloaded a set fonts from http://www40.brinkster.com/hivelocity. This has partially solved the problem as Urdu in Times New Roman bold appears as it should, however, new problems have risen. Many websites including Wikipedia now appear in a Garamond like font and even plain text in Outlook Express with UTF-8 encoding displays in almost same font. I have two questions: 1. Why did not WinXP get Urdu support right in the first place as it had no problem with it before reinstallation? How can I get it right? 2. Why fonts from http://www40.brinkster.com/hivelocity have messed up display in certain websites and Outlook Express, and how can I remove these fonts? There is no entry in Add/Remove Programs. Thank you, -- Syed Zeeshan Haider
