I'm now learning iPhone development with Monotouch and use Mono Develop for IDE. Everything works fine and I'm going to buy a license for MonoTouch. However, the IDE can not display Thai text correctly.
It just display [] that is difficult for me to type message in Thai. Although this text display correct in runtime (iPhone Simulator).
I think this problem occurs in MonoDevelop.
Please could you help me to solve this problem.
PS. I tried everything that I can do. For example, change file format to UTF 8 , 16 and copy text from other programs that display Thai text correctly.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you

Unfortunately, the library that MonoDevelop uses for font rendering on Mac, called Pango, has problems with font fallbacks. That means that if the primary font doen't contain the character you want, it can't fall back to another font for that character.
You can work around this by setting a custom font in MonoDevelop preferences. Set it to a font that contains Thai characters.

I use FastReport3.5 in my Delphi7 program to show reports.
Sometime when I preview my report the program freezes.
When I change the RichEdit font, I can preview the report normally.
I thought the RichEdit component didn't support Chinese very well, but when I changed the font to Tahoma, the problem happened again.
This problem appeared two more times. All I could do was change the RichEdit font, but I do not think changing the font is the best method to resolve the problem.
Try to use latest FR 5.6.2
If problem still exists - create small demo project with problem and send it to support#fast-report.com
Does anyone know which font is used in the Justunfollow iOS app?
I'm especially interested in the font used for displaying numbers (not sure if it's the same one used for text in the app).
maybe take a screenshot and upload it to 'WhatTheFont'?

does anybody know how to render these emoticons in Windows given the unicode charcode?
It looks like this icons or font are native to apple (as sayed here) but I don't know which one I can choose to render these glyphs in Windows
Thanks
If whatever you're using to display your text is working correctly and the user has a suitable font installed, then you don't need to do anything. Font substitution will take care of that and choose a font that contains glyphs for those characters.
Windows since 8.1 ships with Segoe UI Emoji, however, if you absolutely need a font to specify explicitly.
I am developing app for window phone 7 .I call one service that return me xml. This xml contain Arabic as well as English content. I can read English content but for Arabic character output look like this ?????????.
I want to display both Arabic and English content in my app please help me
Looking at the Segoe WP family of fonts I have on my computer (which I got by installing the WP7.5 dev tools), the font doesn't contain Arabic characters. This is why you're seeing question marks.
So, seems like you need to use some other available font which contains Arabic characters or embed your own entirely. See this link for a list of available fonts, the editor is a bit weird in the sense that it allows you to use any font even though there's just a limited set of fonts available.
I think the following post may help you:
Indic language display
I have a good free desktop font and it is free also for font embedding on the web.
The font uses Arabic Unicode and it is TrueType desktop font.
I want to use this font on my website. The problem that most web font converters or generators like font squirrel and typeface.js render the letters separately, not linked together.
I used this Unicode ranges to create the web fonts:
FE70-FEFF,0600-06FF,FB50-FDFF,0750-077F,0621-0652
This should convert all Arabic Unicode characters and should make the letters linked together or attached together like what happen on desktop font but that does not happen.
Can I just use the desktop font file itself without converting it?
What is the difference between a regular desktop font and web embedded font?
BTW, the font desktop file is only 27kb and I tested it in Firefox. It is working great if installed on the system (of course it is on my computer).
Yes, you can use the ttf file itself. Most browsers, except Internet Explorer 8 and lower, support this format.
To support IE8 as well, you must transform the font into an eot file and upload that too. Can't really recommend any specific font converter, having no experience with Arabic fonts, but I'm sure there must be others except fontsquirrel. Have you tried FontForge?
Anyway, in my experience, font files downloaded and installed into the user's system work far better than web fonts, because font support from within the browsers is far from optimal. Some fonts work, others don't with no indication why, yet others don't display well (with the wrong spacing, or as if there is no hinting, etc).
So if you do use a web font, make sure you a) test thoroughly in many different browsers, and b) provide good fallback fonts in the css, in case your webfont doesn't work.
