I have a question regarding Karen fonts. Is it true that there are two fonts for Karen in MS Word "normal" and "standard", and that you can't change the fonts of the document. If you need to have the document in the other font you have to retype the entire document?
Hi amayo,
I guess all languages have many fonts supporting them, but to retype an entire document is a lot of work. What kind of document are we talking about? Does it have images or something?
It is a Word documents with a two column format. There are no images.
That is interesting. I would like to know how it is possible and I am sure that you are not allowed to share the file.
Let's wait for a DTP specialist who can explain it better.
Yes. Any DTP people out there that can lend a helping hand?
Hi Guys. I'm a DTP specialist and I've worked with Karen documents some times. Could you please send me the file so I can check what you are saying?
Thanks
Unfortunately, I can't share the file. Have you worked with both Karen fonts in the past? Are they interchangeable like English fonts?
I had two fonts and I try to change the Karen text and it didn't work. It doesn't work like changing from Times New Roman to Arial an English text for example.
I was told that even the keyboard has a different layout.
Okay. That's what I was worried about. So the only way to change fonts is to have someone retype the whole document?
It seems so. Unless we create a solution ;)
Okay. Thanks for confirming that. And please do let me know if you manage to create a better solution! :D
Yes, it seems like if you write the document with a specific font, then you can't change it. Or at least, you can use a limited number of fonts
