Application doesnt recognise the Hindi fonts. Pls upgrade or update the applications that can run in all regional fonts.

Can you give an example of a downloadable Hindi font and some Hindi text that appears correctly in other applications, but not in Pixelitor?

Dear Lbalazscs/Pixelitor,

Thank you for the quick response. I would like to request you to introduce the Hindi Fonts to copy/paste in the layers. Today I downloaded this application after seen 5 stars but it needs to be nurtured as well to use in Asia Pacific region. HINDI FONT CAN BE USE ANY APPLICATION FROM COREL/ PHOTOSHOP/ PAGEMAKER/ OFFICE SUITE ETC...

Here is the font I am talking about: हिंदी फॉन्ट का उपयोग कोरल/फोटोशॉप/पेजमेकर/ऑफिस सुइट आदि में से किसी भी एप्लिकेशन में किया जा सकता है...

I'm trying to understand the issue. If I copy-paste part of the text you sent into Pixelitor 4.3.1 and I select a font type that supports these characters (such as Mangal in this case), then the text seems to render the same way as in Firefox: hindi1

In this first screenshot Pixelitor's UI doesn't show the characters correctly because by default it uses a font type that doesn't support these characters. But you can change the font type used by Pixelitor's UI in the Edit/Settings/Preferences/UI/Font Type. For example by choosing Mangal here, the text seems to render correctly even in the UI: hindi2

Let me know if this solves your problem!
