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 .

With Font Fixer 2.0.0, you can set your favorite font as default for Bangla language, where Microsoft makes “Vrinda” default. Normally, there is no direct way to change this setting, as such things are hard coded.

Now compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7 also

Font Fixer 2.0.0 makes this easy for you, just select which font you want to make default for Bangla language, and with just a simple reboot, no patch and system file change, you get it, in a safe and easy way and restore the original setting anytime.

Mozilla Firefox 3 has fixed the display problem with Bangla web pages. Now, you can show your justified texts in Firefox. So, I’ve updated this plugins to make it compatible with Firefox 2 & Firefox 3. Now, It’ll only activate for Firefox 2.

Mozilla Firefox 2 has some specific problems/bugs for displaying Bangla web pages. One of them is, when you align texts as “Justify”, the text become broken (see the image). Webmasters / Bloggers often forget this issue and as a result, they loose a number of visitors who are using Firefox for browsing their site/blog.

BanglaFixer is a plugin for WordPress, that fixes broken Bangla texts in Firefox 2 automatically. And visitors using other browsers also can see your Bangla WordPress blog seamlessly. This plug-in is theme independent, works with any WordPress theme, and doesn’t require any manual editing of the CSS or any other files.
