Complex Script Support - AMX MVP-9000i Operation And Reference Manual

Appendix A: Text Formatting

Complex Script Support

In many cases, a user needs a touch panel user interface that utilizes a font applicable to the area for which its use is
intended, and to accomplish this without needing to resort to images of properly formed text. This includes proper
rendering of right-to-left languages such as, but not limited to, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and Devangari (FIG. 126). Both the
MVP-9000i and TPDesign4 (v3.1 or higher) support complex script languages, to the extent that the True Type font
currently selected for that state supports the language in question. TPDesign4 allows the user to type the desired text into
a project, view it in G4Panel Preview, and download it to the panel.

In some cases, the user may need correct rendering of mixed left-to-right and right-to-left text, and may display both of
these together in the same page (FIG. 127). Text edit boxes only operate left-to-right.

Some languages, notably Hindi and Tamil, are not supported by coded pages. These languages will display "???" for
characters entered via the language bar, even if the selected font supports the language. Text in these languages can still
be pasted via the clipboard or via the Alt-<Scan Code> method.
For more information on TPDesign4 and its complex script support, please refer to
the TPDesign4 (v3.0 or higher) Operation Reference Guide, available at

Most languages can be entered into the state property field in TPDesign4 via the
