XF 2.0 How to add fonts for regional languages?

[rakeshmali]

I want to add font of my regional language i.e. Hindi while posting messages.
So could anyone please help me to achieve this in xenforo 2?

Easiest but may not the ideal way to do that is to replace font in

• Appearance
• Styles
• Default style - Style properties
• Typography

as per below image

@Mian Shahid Thank you for the response, I want to add one more language in font selection drop down so if a user post any thread he/she can post in hindi also. Is the way you suggested will do this task?

As I mentioned earlier, this may not the best way to do that, but working fine, you can check to add a diff. lang. font then try to post something, if work fine then carry on otherwise, revert all edits.

tbh. this is something that is to be done at the user side. xenforo has full support for hindi and any other language which is supported by unicode(?). you do not add fonts to add support for languages. they are supported out of the box. user just has to type in hindi. using a software keyboard on smartphones or using a virtual keyboard on computers.

If I understand well, @rakeshmali wants to users can choose hindi font in font selection dropdown while posting a message. As they can write in English and Hindi too in the same message...

font selection dropdown is for typefaces not languages. one can write english or हिंदी in the same message. user needs input tools at his end.

Google Input Tools - Chrome Web Store

Input Tools lets you type in the language of your choice.
