About SimpleText

SimpleText is a basic multilingual text-editing program that supports Indian
language characters as well as other available writing systems. If you do not
have a version of SimpleText on your computer, it is automatically installed
with the Indian Language Kit.

Displaying Indian language filenames correctly

If you have files and folders with Indian language names on your computer,
you may find that the names don’t appear correctly on screen. This can
happen if the font your system currently uses for file and folder names is not
appropriate for an Indian language.

For example, many systems use the Geneva font for file and folder names, but
Geneva contains characters meant only for English and other languages that
use the Roman character set (such as French, Spanish, and German).

You can view Indian language file and folder names correctly by setting the
Views control panel to the font that matches the Indian language you’ll use
most often.

To do so, follow these steps:

1

Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

K

) menu.

2

Open the Views control panel.
