hindi fonts are not displaying in target

[sanjeet]

Hi,

I am working on multi-lingual application.

I have to display hindi font(or any other indian language) in place of english, in my application.
Like text on pushbutton, label or message should be in hindi.

I am able to do it in desktop version, but it's not displaying in target device.
my target device is ARM-based, Linux platform.

i am using qt's translator for this application(lupdate, linguist, lrelease).

I think, i am missing some font configuration file, or font file in target device.

I have copied same font file from /usr/share/ and /etc/ from desktop to target device in same directory.
But still i am unable to display Hindi text in my target device.

Can you help me anybody..... what are the things exactly, i am missing in target device.... ?
or what i have to do for displaying hindi text in target device.

thanks in advance.

Your target device has to have, and you need to use, a font that contains the glyphs corresponding to the Hindi Unicode code points. Depending the font capabilities of the embedded system you may be able to use the same font file as your desktop (within license limits): embed it in your application resources and use QApplication::setFont() or similar as required. Windows, I think, uses a font called Mangal (http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/family.aspx?FID=243) but you are not free to distribute this.

Hi Chris,

thanks for your suggestion, but i am still having doubt that... where(in which directory) i have in copy Hindi font.
And any configuration file is also requried ?

[ChrisW67]

The font needs to be where X11 (or whatever stands in for it on your device) looks for fonts. It may require a configuration file change, or it may not.

Alternatively, you can embed the actual font file in your application as I said before (see QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont()).
