Hello Friends,

I have sucessfully implemented the localization in Flex 3. But the problem is only English, France languages are displayed well but Hindi Fonts are getting displayed as boxes.

Can any one help me to come out of this issue? I had searched on google also but yet not able to find the problem.

Waiting for quick response.

    boxes are either a "mild" encoding problem or more likely that the fonts you're

    using don't have hindi glyphs in them.

    Hi PaulH,

    As i am new to the flex3 as well as localization programming i have not any idea about the "mild" and "hindi glyphs".

    Can you please help me in understanding this?

    One more information i had installed "Mangal" fonts for hindi support. is it creating any problem?

    I was not able to resolve the problem yet. Waiting for quick response.

    a glyph is an element of a writing system (i guess you might call it a "char").

    if your flex app is displaying english & french ok but your hindi text is

    displaying as boxes then either the encoding of your resource bundles is not

    exactly utf-8 or the font you've used in your app doesn't have the hindi glyphs

    in it (most likely). are you handling the fonts for each locale?

    btw if your text was displayed as question marks (?) then something bad happened

    to the text data itself, ie garbaged.
