1. Is Aparajita is Hindi font and 2) Is सरकारी is unicode string or ascii string? If it is unicode than you must choose the font as Mangal and than check.

Unicode String

Checked with Mangal. The result is same. Actually the string contains both english and hindi. X| :confused:

I am facing this problem with Bengali and Oriya only but not in Hindi. Please check that you have Mangal font installed in your system? It should be in SystemDrive:\Windows\Fonts folder. One more thing that I do is copy the font of mangal in Windows 7 or Vista and installed it in your pc. Might be your problem is resolved.

Hi Alok ji, Please ask this question to Vishal :). BTW the string is Unicode than there is no need to set the Hindi font. He can set Mangal instead.

some times it's project requirement to use some particular fonts and never depend on UNICODE based on size and shape they take :-)

Aprajita Font maximum size is 72. I had tried Mangal Font also, but no success.

Yae but for English and Unicode font, I don't think so that it is being used. For an example if I have English string might be "abcd" and I set some Hindi font. If any shape is mapped in that Hindi font than it might be a hindi value without meaning. So for English font we have to take care of it. Example : In some Hindi font "a is mapped with shape क" and in some other font may be "a is mapped with shape अ".

It means that your font is in font folder. Right. Now open Winword and write the path that you want to show in edit control and select all and set the font Mangal and check it is same as displayed in your edit control. If yes than try to check with different size. Or copy the Mangal font from vista and windows 7 machine. New version of Mangal font looking nice.May be your problem is resolved by installing it in your system.

YES. It is ok with winword. But not with Edit Control. I am on Windows 7.

Please share your code where you set the font in Edit control.
