I had released Font Fixer back in 21 February, 2007 and so far it is the most downloaded software of my blog. Now I will share how it works and how I found the way out. I hope you will enjoy it . That time latest Windows Operating System was Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and it was shifted with a default Bangla font named Vrinda, which was smaller and uglier than the recent version. And also Microsoft didn’t (still doesn’t) provide any way to change the default font. So, It was hard for general users to change the default font. Before Font Fixer a popular way was to use the hacked Vrinda (A font named Vrinda with SolaimanLipi glyph).

One day, I had got a document created in MacOS. When I opened it, I found that it was written using the Halvetica font. I didn’t have Halvetica installed in my PC but still I can still view and edit it. Though, it looked like Arial to me but Microsoft Word was displaying Halvetica as the font name. Then the word Font Substitution came into my mind. I googled it and bingo! I found this post by Michael Kaplan, a great guy .

Now, besides GMail & Jabbar users Yahoo, MSN & AIM users can also use this bot. All you have to do is just add the bot to your friends list & keep it poking

 

Bot New Address are -

Google/Jabbar – en2bn@bot.im
Yahoo – en2bn
MSN/Hotmail/Live – en2bn@live.com
AIM – en2bn

Those who are already using this bot please delete the old bot bangla@bot.im from your friends list & add any of the new bot from the above list. At this moment, the old bot is also working but I’ll deactivate it soon.

This bot will help you to get Bengali (Bangla) meaning of English word right from your IM (Instant Messenger). All you have to do is just add bangla@bot.im to your Google or Jabbar friends list. Then send your desired word to it. It’ll work as a English to Bangla [Bengali] dictionary. For example, if you send “Test” to bangla@bot.im, it will respond like the beside screen shoot. I think it is helpful & also interesting.

I’ve used Ankur English to Bengali Dictionary as the base. If the bot will not find any result for any word then it’ll show you a link of Ankur project to contribute for that word. Any kind of suggestion or comment is welcome .
