Q.  XSL Formatter V3.x incorrectly renders Hindi characters. [No.2005061002]
A. 

XSL Formatter V3.1 or later handles Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, etc. originally, then it's possible to display these languages without depending on the platform. However there are some unsupported scripts (such as Hindi) and fonts which cannot be displayed correctly. From XSL Formatter V3.2 or later it's available to specify the script to be displayed by using WindowsAPI. The following shows an example of Hindi.

<formatter-config>
  <formatter-settings  WindowsFontAPI="Deva" .../>

However in this case, the same result cannot be gained when outputting to PDF. In order to get the same result, please use Adobe Distiller to create PDF. The default value is empty. This setting is effective only with Windows version.

Please see "Formatter Settings" of the "Option Setting File" section in the Online Manual in detail.
