Converting to unicode font in Crystal Reports

Question

I want to convert Report Headers and Section Headers to Hindi unicode font. At present I am using a Hindi font which is not rendering properly on various browsers. Is there any way to convert the Report Header and other fonts to unicode in Crystal Reports 2005?

Answer 1

If by Crystal Reports 2005 you mean the version of CR that bundles with .NET 2005, then you want to look at the following;

1. Working with Default and Custom Language Resource Files
2. Compiling the Custom Resource Files
3. Web: Configuring Global or Local Custom Resources

You also want make sure you are using SP 1 for CR 10.2:

Note that new, stand alone version(s) of CR have better localization support. Looking at CR 2008 (12.x) may be something to consider. An Eval of CR 2008 is available here:
