NOPE ! not yet Puru dai! I think the Font thing needs to be fixed
??! Posted on 27-Sep-02 11:33 AM

Until the problem is fixed, ahile lai yesari kam chalaun:
1. Copy the text
2. Paste in word
3. Select all
4. Change font to Nepali fonts

I hope this works for all.
Puru Subedi Posted on 27-Sep-02 11:33 AM

Humm...Can you read the Nepali text on the following URL?

http://www.inls.org/news/news.html

It is in Priti font.

-Puru
San Posted on 27-Sep-02 11:34 AM

Dhumbasse,
I can read Puru's posting just fine. He's using Kantipur font. Make sure that's installed in your computer. Also the other font is Preeti, not Priti.

download Kantipur font: http://www.nepalnews.com.np/kantipur_font.htm

download Preeti font: http://www.nepalnews.com.np/gpfont.htm

Regards,
San
Puru Subedi Posted on 27-Sep-02 11:57 AM

Thank you San for prompt clarification.
If you have Mac, you can download font from here:

anepalikt Posted on 29-Sep-02 09:20 AM

Okay, I could deal with the number of haraphs and even the request for date of birth, and date of entry into the states, but what up with the no "naribadi kavita" thingy?

haha

Am I dillusional here or did I really read that? Help!

Naribadi kavita and gali lanchana in the same sentence! You gotta be kidding me!

And what up with the request for photos??


Puleaseeeeee


BOYCOTT!!
DHUMBASSE (DUMBASS) Posted on 29-Sep-02 04:09 PM

Anepali kt,

Where did you read that. If that is what it means then you saying Boycott is a good thing. I back you up. But, at the sametime, i read it as NARABAD not NARIBADI on the same sentece that says " 3_ JolQmut cfIf]k, ;+:yfut nf~5fgf, ufnLunf}h tyf gf/fjfbL sljtf k|sfzg ug{ sl7gfO{ kg]{ xú+bf ljzúWb ;flxlTos / df}lns sljtfsf] ck]Iff ul/Psf] 5 .
X_ sljtf ge]Dj/ @))@ ;Dddf k|fKt e};Sgú kg]{5


NARAbad, hummmm which is again another big issue hard to define in a poem. Who is gonna sit there and judge what is nara and what is not. Simply put, if one dislikes, say, te politics and writes against it , is that going to be a "NARA"

DUNNO BA !!!!!!!!

Okay! Thanks for pointing that out Dhumbasse! I feel silly now! Yikes! How embarassing! I apologize. :) (sheepish grin)

But I have to agree with you... what is narabad anyhow? And what is poetry without politics? :)
Puru Subedi Posted on 01-Oct-02 01:16 PM

Friends,

Here is response from Govindaji who is the publisher and editor of the magazine. If you have further questions, I will request him to join the discussion.

Looking forward to receiving your poems.

Dear Puruji
Actually nobody can define the exact meaning of poetry and its
contain,however ,the poetry should be poetry.Poetry should carry poetical
art.Poetry can be political but should not support or oppose any political
party or line.Any kind of poetry and on any subject is welcome but that
should carry minimum poetical qualification.
