Telugu Mac Font

Hi there. I got a message last month from you asking me to make a Telugu font for the Mac platform. I asked for some sample pictures of correctly rendered Telugu so that I can try and copy it, but haven't heard back. I would also need the source text that was used to create the pictures. Do you know anyone on here who would mind helping? Thanks! నికొలాస్ 00:01, 14 జనవరి 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I've spent the past four hours working on a font to add AAT rules so it renders better, and have taken a screenshot of the rendering of తెలుగు which I've put here. Please let me know what you think. నికొలాస్ 03:57, 14 జనవరి 2006 (UTC)

Great!! what did you use (browser? font? OSX?). I see a mistake on third line of first para the syllable ppai is rendered incorrect. correct rendering would be p+ immediately below pa vattu + (ai vattu - bipartite vattu with one glyph above the entire thing and one glyph below). Let me know if this clear --వైఙాసత్య 08:09, 14 జనవరి 2006 (UTC)

Here is picture of correct rendering. Thanks for your efforts we appreciate it --వైఙాసత్య 08:17, 14 జనవరి 2006 (UTC)

Okay, the code sequence is U+C2A U+C4D U+C2A U+C48 = pa + virama + pa + matra_ai; which currently I'm converting to pa + pa.ottu + matra_ai.

It appears that what I need is the sequence tvam + pe + pa.ottu, because the tvam glyph (is that the right name? It's a mirror image of the ta.ottu glyph) is below‐right of (0,0), so would have to come before the vyanjana. (Is that the right word in Telugu?) I shall convert (pa + … + matra_ai) to pe + ... + tvam and then move the tvam to the front. Or I could move it first. Whichever. నికొలాస్ 12:53, 14 జనవరి 2006 (UTC)

I have been making a font for the Mac, but need Telugu speakers to check it out. Could you look over this and tell me if you see any mistakes? Also, if you know of any large amounts of text I can check against, please could you send me them? Thanks. నికొలాస్ 08:23, 15 జనవరి 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I have prepared the PDF for the largest text in telugu wikipedia. The PDF shows the text in the wikipedia page removing the sidebar. I think you will get all the possible combinations. The PDF file is currently available here. Tell me if you have any more problems. --మాకినేని ప్రదీపు(చర్చ, రచనలు) 09:13, 15 జనవరి 2006 (UTC)

I am going through, currently I want to say one thing that the vattus that will come under the characters should be slightly moved towards right, so that they will be centered with the character above them. I havent gone through the PDF completely. will tell if I find any more inconsistencies. --మాకినేని ప్రదీపు(చర్చ, రచనలు) 09:20, 15 జనవరి 2006 (UTC)
