Most of the regional exams like UPPSC, BPSC, TNPSC, KPSC, TRB and other public service commission exams are conducted in english as well as in local languages.
Usually Legacy fonts like Kruti Dev (Hindi), Baamini (Tamil), Manorama (Malayalam), Priyanka (Telugu), Nudi (Kannada) are used to compose the local language questions.
But online exam software don’t support such font types. Even worse, they ask you to convert the content you composed using legacy fonts to unicode font format, which adds to the confusion even further.
Our online exam software supports unicode fonts out of the box. It can also be extended to support legacy fonts easily. If you use legacy fonts, here are the 4 simple steps involved to use them in Testpress.
Regional Fonts can be of two types:
Unicode fonts are easy to support as the browser has built-in support. Legacy fonts are difficult to support because they are not supported in browsers by default.
