where can I get the best Nepali Font. i have several of them but most of them lack on one thing " ukar" for example when I am typing BINDU ( B+I+N+D+UKAR) it types a little square box instead of 'ukar',

Please let me know . My advance thanks to those who reply.

Dhumbasse bhai,

I suppose you are using MSWord for typing in Nepali. To get around the "u/oo_kar" problem, I have two suggestions:

1. Use WordPad - but as you know, it has limited formatting options.
2. Use MSWord, and do the following:

Select/click on "Tools"
Select "AutoCorrect"
Click on tab "Auto Format as You Type"
Uncheck/deselect “Straight quotes” with “Smart quotes”

Now, you can use Kantipur or Preeti or any other font - I believe without "u/oo_kar" problem.

Good luck.

Thanks Yatreeji... it worked for me. When I had this problem before, I used to insert symbol and copy and paste in each place where I needed to put U-kar. You saved my time...

You're welcome. Yes, ??!, your method works too - jharko laagne gari. The other method, if you want it in MSWord, is: type in WordPad and copy-pase in MSWord.

While we are at it, you may want to uncheck "capitalize first letter of sentences" that is found under AotoCorrect...->AutoCorrect tab. Else, it does strane things to the first letter.

Also, under TOOLS ->OPTIONS->SPELLING & GRAMMAR, uncheck "Always suggest corrections" and other appropriate boxes.

Biruwa ,

the only way one can post something in Nepali is by typing in Nepali. then printing it and then scanning and saving as an image file and posting it here. Lot of work man .

Hope one day , by San dai's aasairbad we all can direclty post something in Nepali. But It does not hurt to try . hoina ra ?

If you know a better way than waht I mentioned above ,i am sure you will let me know.

Actually you can cut and paste the writing into a .jpg file using paint available in accessory. Then you can post it as .jpg file
