Rajesh I havent worked on MS sql server or power builder, but i am
working on displaying Indian languages in java and html,xml using
ArialUnicodeMS and code2000.
With ArialUnicodeMS all the characters for indian languages are not given
and even rendering characters has become a problem.Actually i hope u know
that for devanagari the range is from 0901-096f but all the characters has
not been covered in this range and unicode people has left a range from
e000-fe89 for private use. In this Range code2000 people has inserted all
the characters u need in hindi and that would be better to use if u need all
the characters.
Even if u consider rendering characters in telugu its a problem rendering
is not at all handled by ArialUnicodems and code2001 performs better in this
aspect.
Best Regards
