Email : I use the Shree-Lipi Devratna Pioneer Version for last 15 years on my Desktop which has Windows XP operating system. My version has a hardware lock for Shree-Lipi. My problem is while working in MS Office Word 2007, after typing one letter Shree-Lipi stops working. But if I type in Word Pad Shree-Lipi works.

Tips and Tricks for Shree-Lipi

1. In Bengali or Oriya Script we are not getting some characters like ‘ / ’ , ‘ ; ’, ‘ ? ’, ‘ = ’. These characters were coming properly in previous versions.

New versions of Shree-Lipi i.e 7.0 & above fonts, we have not provided the ‘ / ’ , ‘ ; ’, ‘ ? ’, ‘ = ’ characters due to introduction of some new conjuncts in fonts. To get these characters you have to install auxiliary fonts of that script while installing the main fonts. This will install fonts having extension A. You can select these fonts while typing (for ex SHREE-BAN7-0550A) and type characters from normal English keyboard position.

2. PDF creation problems (User has tried all methods but he has problems while making PDF).

a. If PDF is made by using DO PDF utility -> Can not create PDF properly with running text using Shree-Lipi fonts; but no problem occurs with Background color of pictures (Colors remain as it is)

b. If the PDF is created the following way - First make a .PS or .PRN file & then import this file with Distiller -> That time PDF is created properly with running text using Shree-Lipi fonts but Problem occurs with Background color (It remains only black).

Below are the possible causes of PDf file issues -

  • Some of the free PDF drivers are having some issues with Fonts while making PDF file. Always check document after making PDF files.
  • If you have composed a document using non postscript printer driver and after that if you make PDF file using postscript printer driver then your pagination may vary from page to page. Always create document using proper postscript printer driver setting as default printer driver.
  • If fonts are not embedded in Adobe distiller then also you will not get proper result while taking printout on outside printers/bureaus.
  • Always create PDF file using CMYK colors instead of RGB colors. This will get proper Black and other colors output.
  • If you are using Shree-Lipi 6.0 fonts then it is not possible to embed fonts. You have to use Shree-Lipi 7 version for embedding fonts in PDF documents. We have enabled Font embedding option in Shree-Lipi 7.0 onwards.
  • You can use Type1 fonts of any version of Shree-Lipi. By default Type1 fonts are having Font Embedding option enabled.
  • For making PDF file the fonts must be installed in pair only, otherwise you will not get proper Bold/Italic effects on documents.
