[ለማስተካከል] Compatibility Issues (feel free to add to this page)

While playing with fonts for various international wiki's today, I downloaded a font for Devanagari (Indic) script called "raghu.ttf" - once in my font folder, it appeared as "raghindi.ttf"... It allowed me to see all the writing on the Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi wikis perfectly...! (Instead of little squares, not that I can read that script anyway...) But then when I returned here, all the Ge'ez text that was either "bold" or "italic" showed up as "????"... So I moved raghindi.ttf out of my font folder again, and all the Ge'ez was restored immediately... So, if by chance you can see most of the Ge'ez writing, but a few of the words look like question marks, look to see if you have raghindi.ttf in your computer's font folder, and if so, simply move it to another folder!

Compatibility with Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 - tried washera 4.0 and Ethopia Jiret. Works fine in Internet Explorer, in Firefox i only see question marks. Tried changing to UTF-8 and other settings - didnt succeed. Any hints out there?

I was having this same problem some of the time a while back, other times the font would work fine. I finally got it to stop by going Tools => Options... => Content => setting Default font = GF Zemen Unicode, then Advanced... => setting all fonts for "Ethiopic" to the same font. Hope that helps... ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 23:01, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
