Gujarati Fonts in Windows 10

Hi Altaf,

Though you have added the Gujarati Language Pack successfully, there's a possibility that it's not been set to be the input method. For us to sort out this concern, we would like to know the following information:

• Do you want to use the Gujarati language as the default language in your PC?
• If not, do you just want it to be one of the input methods and leave the default language as English?

If you want to leave the default language of your PC to English, then we suggest that you add Gujarati as one of the input methods. Here's how:

1. Open Settings and click Time & language.
2. In the left pane, click Region & language.
3. Under Languages, select the Gujarati language and click Options.
4. Click Add a keyboard and select the keyboard you want to use.
5. Once done, close the Settings window.

Assuming you want to use Gujarati keyboard in Microsoft Word, follow the steps below:

1. Open Microsoft Word.
2. In the System Tray, click the language icon and select the keyboard you want to use as shown below.
3. You may now begin typing in your Word document and it should display the language of your preference.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Regards.

Hi. Thank you for your prompt response. In answer to your questions, see replies in bold on the right:

• Do you want to use the Gujarati language as the default language in your PC? NO
• If not, do you just want it to be one of the input methods and leave the default language as English? YES

With regards to your instructions:

If you want to leave the default language of your PC to English, then we suggest that you add Gujarati as one of the input methods. 

• I cannot add a keyboard because one is already selected for me 'GUJARATI INSCRIPT'.
• The 'Add A Keyboard' only gives me a greyed out 'GUJARATI INSCRIPT' again.

In relation to Assuming you want to use Gujarati keyboard in Microsoft Word, follow the steps below:

I did forget to select the GU GUJARATI (India) Keyboard in the System Tray when I wrote up my question earlier.

However, when I am in Word and I click on GU, the font automatically switches to Arial Unicode MS?!

When I select Shruti Bold or Shruti Heading, while still remaining with GU I only get the normal English keyboard.

So I am a bit stuck.....and help still required. Can I not just reinstall the Shruti.ttf files for Windows 10 if someone can provide these to me?

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, Altaf. Based on the information you've provided, it appears that you want to use the Gujarati language in Microsoft Word. In that case, you need to add the language in Microsoft Word itself. Follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Word.
2. Click File > Options.
3. Click Language.
4. Under Choose Editing Languages, click the drop-down in Add additional editing languages and select your desired language.
5. Click Set as Default.
6. Click OK.

Once done, try typing and see if the input language in your Word 2010 is changed to Gujarati.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards.

Hi. I carried out the instructions precisely as requested. I was then informed that the changes would be applied when I restarted my PC.

On restarting I noticed, when I opened Word, that the EN Keyboard got swapped with GU, The font remained on Calibri (Body). I then selected Shruti (Body). Unfortunately the language and fonts keep 'flip-flopping' with different fonts. Even when I do get GU & Shruti paired the Gujarati alphabet seems incomplete and is certainly not phonetic. How do I know which letters of my English keyboard map to the Gujarati characters - I can then verify if I have to re-learn the keyboard mapping (assuming its complete)? 

Another thought, do you have a colleague in Microsoft who uses Gujarati and may have experience of such issues? I really do think that reinstalling the Shruti.ttf fonts directly may resolve this.

Thanks again,

Altaf
