And in that case, surely it should be possible to clear up the problem on your machine. Could you send me a screenshot of what is happening when you try that?īut since others can type and read Devanagari in TextEdit just fine, it isn't clear why one wouldn't think this problem is confined to your machine. It is very puzzling that you would not be able to input Devanagari into TextEdit using the keyboard layout and fonts provided by Apple with OS X. Windows fonts will not work, except in the app OpenOffice. With respect to standard Unicode Devanagari, the only font you can use in OS X and most apps for correct display is Devanagari MT. Non-Unicode Devanagari should soon be obsolete, at least for internet data exchange. Otherwise anyone you send your text to must have the exact same custom font you are using selected in order to display things correctly, and things like email and webpages are very difficult. Unless you are doing work only for local printing, I would recommend you use Unicode, which is the international standard for such scripts. It sounds like you may be talking about non-Uncode fonts. Kiran for example, though it's not very easy on the eye.
I have found a workaround of sorts - there are a few Devanagari fonts out there which do seem to render OK across the whole of OSX including third party apps.
