Troubleshooting Dynamic Fonts

1. Tikkana fonts may or may nor work on different versions of Macs.
   This is due to the non-conformance of different operating systems to the ISO-8859 encoding standard. What can be done about it? Unfortunately, we don't have a workaround for now. If you are a Mac buff as well as a software developer, please contact me to develop a solution for this problem.

2. You are not using a browser that is capable of displaying embedded fonts.
   Please follow the links at the bottom of this page to download Netscape or Internet Explorer with a version number greater than 4.0. You do not need to install any fonts on your system. (Note: If you are using a 68000 based Macintosh system, dynamic fonts won't work for you, because of a problem in the code fragment manager.)


3. You have not enabled the dynamic fonts in the Netscape Communicator.
   Click Edit on the menu bar, and then select Preferences. From within the Preferences dialog box, select the Fonts category under Appearance. (This may take a moment to load.) Ensure that dynamic fonts are turned on. Click the OK button when you're done. For Internet Explorer, the embedded fonts are always enabled.


4. You have recently visited a different site with Tikkana PFRs (Portable Font Resources), like http://telusa.lekha.org or http://eemaata.lekha.org etc., and your browser is using the cached PFRs from those sites instead of loading the Tikkana PFRs from /
   In Netscape Communicator (or Navigator), you can force a reload of the PFRs by holding down the shift key while clicking the Reload button on the Communicator toolbar. This might take a moment to reload and redraw the screen with Telugu text.

   The reload of PFRs is needed because, the DocLock protection system doesn't allow PFRs created for one site to be used for another site. Next release of PFR creation tool allows multiple sites to be specified at the time of the creation of the fonts, and until that time you need to force the reload of the PFRs.

   This problem doesn't occur with Internet Explorer.
