<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> Hi Folks...<div><br></div><div>Still trying! As noted below, I followed Tim's instructions and downloaded the Urdu character set. However, I was not able to access it from Write. I spent some time working on this with a person who speaks and reads several middle eastern languages. Any ideas? What should I try next? Has anyone changed to another character set on their own rather than getting it that way from the factory?</div><div><br></div><div>Caryl<br><br><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: cbigenho@hotmail.com<br>To: support-gang@lists.laptop.org<br>Date: Sun, 26 Dec 2010 12:41:09 -0800<br>Subject: Re: [support-gang] [IAEP] How do I switch the keyboard to another character set?<br><br> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=unicode"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft SafeHTML"> <style> .ExternalClass .ecxhmmessage P {padding:0px;} .ExternalClass body.ecxhmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;} </style> Thanks Tim. The download seems to have gone smoothly. It reported that paktype/teheer is now available. However, when I went to the Write Activity, it did not appear among the available choices. Will it have a different name? There are several fonts labeled with letter codes such as kacstPen, cmsy10, wasy10, etc.<br><br>Caryl<br><br><hr id="ecxstopSpelling">Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2010 08:45:00 +1300<br>From: mcnamara.tim@gmail.com<br>To: support-gang@lists.laptop.org<br>Subject: Re: [support-gang] [IAEP] How do I switch the keyboard to another character set?<br><br><div class="ecxgmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 27, 2010 at 8:08 AM, Caryl Bigenho <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cbigenho@hotmail.com">cbigenho@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="padding-left:1ex"> <div> Hi...<br><br>Ed Cherlin suggests installing an Urdu font (on the XO, I assume).
