Hindi Characters Not Displaying Correctly

[MorganKadric]

Hello,

I am trying to create an alphabet in Hindi, but the combined consonants are not displaying correctly. I've tried using Myriad Devanagari and Adobe Devanagari. They look fine when I plug them into Adobe Fonts online, but when I put them into Illustrator, they are broken apart. Screenshots attached.

Thanks!

Morgan

Don't quote me on this, but I think you need to change the language that Illy is using.

That worked! Thank you so much.

To recap for users wanting a quick answer:

1. Go to Illustrator > Preferences> Type> Select "Indic Languages"

2. Go to the fly-out menu for "Paragraph", select "Middle Eastern & South Asian Every-line Composer"

3. Go to the character section, look for the drop down menu for the languages, and change it to "Hindi"

I am also trying to develop an application for a website gyanibaba.net which will generate a PDF report with user's details in Hindi. Users will provide their bio-data information in just two lines and I'll use this AI and provide full bio-data. But facing some challenges with the Hindi Font.
