Instructions for using Dynamic Fonts

Dynamic fonts, allows the user to host Indian language websites with the assurance that the viewer will see the information without having to download and install any fonts.

What you will require:

To develop an Indian language site, you need a tool (like LEAP Office / iLEAP / ISM) to create HTML files in the Indian language of your choice. This file needs to be modified to place the reference of the dynamic font resource.

Steps :

1. Create your document using LEAP Office / iLEAP / ISM using any font. However for specific reasons the scripts mentioned below can use only that specific font mentioned against it.

 Bengali- Durga
 Oriya � Sarala
 Tamil � Valluvar

2. When using LEAP Office or iLEAP, go to File->Export-> and create an HTML File out of your document.

3. Open the 'raw' HTML File in an editor like Notepad and insert the script (just copy the darkened script as it is to activate dynamic fonts) anywhere between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags as shown below:

____________________________________________________________________

<html>

<head>

<defanged-meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=x-user-defined">

<!-- Start link to PFR -->

            <LINK REL=fontdef SRC="http://pfrlib.cdacindia.com/pfr/your-font-  name.pfr">

<!-- End link to PFR -->

<!-- Start Bitstream WebFont Player support -->

            <SCRIPT SRC=http://www.bitstream.com/wfplayer/tdserver.js TYPE="text/javascript">

            </SCRIPT>

            <LINK>

<!-- End Bitstream WebFont Player support -->
{Type the requsite content}

</head>

<body>..... This will contain the matter that was exported from iLeap/Leap/ISM to HTML format. This will appear as junk over here.
  ...........
</body>
</html>

____________________________________________________________________

Remember to delete a line containing any char-set definition other than the one in this inserted paragraph under the tag. (<Defanged-meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=x-user-defined">)

Note:  This works best with Netscape and IE 4.0. For IE 5 the encoding has to be changed to the user ,defined every time a page is viewed. To remove this hindrance, we provide customized files to be placed on the website. For this contact [email protected]  

4. The textyour-font-name� in the inserted script, is to be replaced by the actual font name that you use in an HTML document. There must  be one <LINK REL .....   > tag for every font used.

5. If you are unaware of then name of your font, check out your HTML code. You will find the name of the font in the FONT FACE  tags. It will usually start with AS, BN, DV, GJ, KN, ML, PN, TL, TM or SD.

Note: Do not use the bilingual fonts starting with ASB, DVB, since the pfr resources are compatible only to the monolingual fonts from C-DAC presently.

6. To test the result, open this HTML file as a WEB URL in the browser (Not a local one). For this you will require a personal web server to test out locally.
