[Neethu K]

I also need to display Malayalam in Matlab in the input text box for TTS. Is there is any code

[Walter Roberson]

Neethu K: it is not a matter of code: you have font problems.

[Neethu K]

I changed the font settings of matlab to karthika.but it doesnt work. Is there is any other solutions?

[Walter Roberson]

Do you mean you installed https://www.wfonts.com/font/ml-ttkarthika ?

[Neethu K]

That is already in the matlab font. But it doesnt give the correct display.Still it shows square box in the input text box.

Using the chart at http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0D00.pdf

P0 = hex2dec('0D00'); P7F = hex2dec('0D7f');
butnot = cellfun(@hex2dec, {'0D00','0D04', '0D0D', '0D11', '0D3B', '0D3C', '0D45', '0D49', '0D50', '0D51', '0D52', '0D53', '0D64', '0D65'});
maychars = char(setdiff(P0:P7F, butnot));

Now,

disp(maychars)

should display the characters.

On my OS-X El Capitan system, even if I set Preferences -> Fonts -> Malayalam NS, some of the characters come up as squares, indicating that the character has no glyph. It appears from other sources that Unicode has added characters in the last few years and that the fonts I am using have not caught up yet.

In MS Windows, what you get displayed might depend on your MATLAB version and what your Windows regional settings are.

It doesnt work.. characters come up as squares.. I am using R2014a and my local settings supports malayalam.. Is there any other way?

[Walter Roberson]

Which operating system are you using? Also, are you using a 32 bit version of MATLAB or a 64 bit version?
