QPainter::drawText() with TT font does not print on printer- HELP

[nish]

Hi there...
I am ihaving problems in printing using a true type telugu language font..


I have some code like this

QString fontFamilyName="AnupamaMedium"; // Telugu Font (True Type)
//fontFamilyName="Arial"; 
font.setFamily(fontFamilyName);
font.setPointSize(26);
 
QChar qchar=140;//decimal value of 'Å’'
textToDraw=qchar;//shows as a square in debugger watch window
textToDraw="Å’";//shows as a square in debugger watch window
QByteArray barr="Å’";//This shows CORRECT in debugger watch window
pos=QPoint(50,50);
//"Å’" != "CE"... its a charecter of telugu font with value 140.

QString fontFamilyName="AnupamaMedium"; // Telugu Font (True Type)
//fontFamilyName="Arial"; 
font.setFamily(fontFamilyName);
font.setPointSize(26);
	
QChar qchar=140;//decimal value of 'Å’'
textToDraw=qchar;//shows as a square in debugger watch window
textToDraw="Å’";//shows as a square in debugger watch window
QByteArray barr="Å’";//This shows CORRECT in debugger watch window
pos=QPoint(50,50);
//"Å’" != "CE"... its a charecter of telugu font with value 140.

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

then QPainter::drawText(pos,textToDraw) is called in the paintEvent() and in
the printing function. the charecter draws well in the paintevent but not on the printer.

i think there is something to do with QString(or QTextCodec) here but i dont know what.

There is no problem with the font,,, because the same character shows and prints in
notepad.

I am attaching the sample code... please have a look and help.
thanks in advance.

PS- the font file is included in the zip

QChar qchar=140;//decimal value of 'Å’'

Are you sure? According to Unicode chart it should be 338.

the character map application in windows shows the value as 0x8C(140 in hex)

install the font on your machine and and u can verify it too.
thx for replying so fast...

Are we talking about one of these characters: http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0C00.pdf ?
Or U0152 from this chart: http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0100.pdf ?

hey.. thx man.. my problem is solved...
i got the hint when is saw the unicode chart u pointed out..

i did it like this...

QChar unicodeChar1(0x0152); //'Œ'
textToDraw="Some telugu text and the this char-> Œ";
textToDraw.replace('Œ',unicodeChar1);

and everything printed good..
i have to did this for 10-15 more characters any whole problem was solved.

thx for your reply man..
bye
take care..
