    Default Importing foreign hieroglyphic copy.

    Hi all
    I need to import 22 foreign languages into my publication, I use Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 2013 and everytime I copy and paste any hieroglyphic language ie, Greek, Bulgarian, Ukranian etc it just pastes as '?????????????'. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to TalkGraphics

    Are you using a font that supports those characters?

    I'm using Ariel, the font file seems to carry most of the characters. I was using Frutiger but that didn't work so I changed it!

    Most of them but it still doesn't recognise Hindi, but we're on the right road. Thanks for your help!

    I don't know if this is any help I do not know what hindi looks like but I am thinking you may need to download a specific font for some. such as this one.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
