Match the font to the language
Enter Unicode text and preview a font that supports its script before applying it.
- Add a text layer and paste the actual greeting, names and punctuation.
- Open Font and choose a family for the language.
- Inspect the complete sample for missing boxes or broken character combinations.
- Apply a suitable family, or upload a licensed script-compatible font.
Expected result: The chosen font covers the text you will publish, rather than only the picker sample.
Begin with actual Unicode text in the language your audience reads. Built-in script-specific families cover many writing systems, but coverage varies by font. Preview the full greeting, names and punctuation before applying a face.
For Kannada, compare the available Kannada families or explore Lipi's Kannada Unicode catalog. For other languages, browse the matching script families on Lipi or use a licensed local font. Legacy-encoded text may need conversion before it behaves like Unicode text.
Build a festival greeting without crowding it
Use separate text layers for the main greeting, translation and sender, with a quiet background behind them.
- Add the main greeting in the audience's language.
- Add a translation and sender as separate, smaller text layers.
- Choose a low-density pattern or gradient and check contrast.
- Ask a fluent reader to verify names, date conventions and honorifics.
Expected result: Each language has independent font, size and spacing settings without crowding the main greeting.
Choose one main greeting, one optional supporting line and a sender or organization name. Keep the main message in the audience's language; use a separate layer for a translation so each script can have appropriate size and spacing.
Use a quiet gradient or low-density pattern behind the words. A petal, star or mixed background can reinforce the occasion, but reduce its opacity or add a plain card if it competes with the script.
For invitations, include the event, date, time, venue and contact as a separate information block. Check names, honorifics, numerals and date conventions with someone fluent in the language.
Review shaping, direction and export
Check script joins and marks in the final export; use Spacing to correct line height, direction and gaps.
- Inspect conjuncts, vowel marks and joined letters at normal reading size.
- Increase Leading when marks collide; avoid excessive Letter gap in joined scripts.
- Set Direction for right-to-left text and check mixed numbers and punctuation.
- Export a test and have a fluent reader inspect that file, not only the input field.
Expected result: The published image has verified shaping and writing order in the actual output.
Inspect conjuncts, vowel marks, joined letters and punctuation at normal reading size. Increase line height if marks collide across lines. Avoid excessive letter spacing or strong curvature in longer joined-script passages.
For right-to-left text, verify writing direction, alignment and the position of numbers or Latin words. Keep different language blocks separate when their direction or typeface needs differ.
Export and inspect the final image, not only the text-entry field. Keep the editable .kruti original if the wording or font may need correction.
