Trouble Getting Sinhala font for Debian!
Can someone help?
Google provides a Sinhala font but it is not available for me to write a single line.
Is Sinhla font is for SALE.
Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi please NOTE.
This is why I never tried to write a book in Sinhala. There are "55 Titles" in both digital and print form.
අසක no Combuwa write my name even with symbols of Google.
My attempt t long time ago
මගේ පන ගිය Giya
උ මට ගැහැව්වා මට ඌ ගැහැව්වා
Transliterate in Sinhalese
Mage Pana Giya
This is another attempt today.
මගේ පන ගිය බියර්
උ මට ගැහැව්වා මට ඌ ගැහැව්වා
අක්ෂර පරිවර්තනය කරන්න සිංහල
Mage Panagiya added this gibberish ජීපුළුවන්
Mage Kakula Ridenawa -could not translate
Karen Danne only ne translated to නෑ
Google Gone bonkers, Thank you AI.
I would have another go at LibreOffice 25.2-
Complete failure to import fonts. However, if i copy a Sinhala font from another document source(I do not have any) and paste, they are taken at face level without any distortion.
These are the symbols available in Google.
