Generically, you can use a custom font using @font-face in your CSS. Here's a very basic example:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'YourFontName'; /*a name to be used later*/
    src: url('http://domain.com/fonts/font.ttf'); /*URL to font*/
}

Then, trivially, to use the font on a specific element:

.classname {
    font-family: 'YourFontName';
}

  • Can i give the url of my c:/ or d drive – Raghuveera Oct 17 '13 at 10:29
  • Note that certain font-formats don't work on all browsers, use fontsquirrel.com's generator to avoid making too much effort converting. – Mr.LamYahoo Oct 17 '13 at 10:51
  • @Raghuveera - that font needs to be downloaded by the visitor's browser, which doesn't have access to *your* C: or D: drive. Put that fontfile in your site and have the browser get it from there. – Hans Kesting Oct 17 '13 at 11:52

Use Localization Concept. It is done using Resource files.

The .NET framework provides support for localization. Localization deals with customizing data and resources for specific culture or locale or language. Supporting localization is important for an application if the application is required to be customizable based on the respective culture.

  • Hi Ramesh, could you please explain here what resource file contains(i means which script) and how to handle multiple language support.? – kiran Oct 17 '13 at 10:13
  • Its just easy you need to maintain a resource file.Resouce file contains key value pairs. One resource file for English and other resource file for kannada. Here keys are same but the value varies for kannada you can use kannada language.2 files one for english and one for kannada. You can give option for the user to select language. Instansiate by using this CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-GB") Later when ever you want to access the key from the resource file. – Ramesh Roddam Oct 17 '13 at 10:25

    you can use this . For this Your Resource file names should be Generic.en.resx and Generic.kn.resx. – Ramesh Roddam Oct 17 '13 at 10:26

You may use unicode UTF-8 to display Kannada. Save the labels text in UTF-8 and add the following lines in your web page:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
...
</head>

I think The Karnataka peoples speak and read some type of languages , So i don't know what type of the language needed you .

But Any type of language file can download here and you can try your self by using this sample code

For taking user input in kannada, you can create a custom Text box control as described here

also you can get rid of resource files by using google website Translator which translates your page on the fly. you just need to set you default language as Kannada
