Dear Sir / Madam,
Here I have a great problem. I am using a non-English, Asian Language (Hindi) Font on my web page. Normally, in a wordprocessor, the font displays best. But, when I use it in HTML one space comes after some of the characters (not all!) in words. This display destroys the look of my webpage composition, words look broken. But this problem occurs in Internet Exploree 5.5, while IE5.0 display the correct display.
Is it a problem of the font or the browser compatibility?
Or a problem of the backend (unicode), which don’t match with browser and leaves space after. How can I change the value, not the keystroke, in your FCP editor?
Can you please explain the solution. Is there any code in CSS, Javascript or any other to rectify it.
Thanks.
Can you send the font file to me, so I can investigate the problem?
Also could you provide me more details (e.g. after which glyphs are the unwanted spaces) about the problem?
Dear Sir,
Here I am sending one .gif file (image) of the display of my problem_font and also attaching the font (sri.ttf) for your disposal, through a separate email on your address button mentioned below.
Hopefully you will get my mail separately.
If you need any thing else, please write me.
Thanks for taking interest in my problem.

The font uses a negative left side bearing in order to combine two or more characters. This should work on both Internet Explorer 5.0 and 5.5.
Maybe Internet Explorer displays the font as if it were a monospaced font.
Thanks Sir ! for taking interest..
You are right, my font carries negative left side bearing in order to combine two or more characters. It works well with IE5.0 but not in 5.5.
By the way, after sending you the last mail, I explored some more and find these…
My Font Set (sri.ttf) uses some System Characters like : ¡ © ÿ § > { ¶
These above characters are like Special Characters in web page.
I found these, when I copied the trouble making characters from my word processor and pasted in an HTML page (notepad). These, above characters only leaves spaces in browser.
Now, I don’t know how to solve this problem. Is there any option in the browser which disable these system characters and read as user defined?
While, I have already mentioned “user defined” meta tag in the webpage.
What you suggest, should I try to change the value of those characters other than system character, in my Font Set? But I don’t know how to do so!
If you need I can send you a HTML webpage (sample) of my pages.
Please suggest if any solution you have.
Thanks a lot!
Bearded.
