Multilingual Editor updates

The updates effected to the multilingual editor are listed in this page.

The updates relate to minor improvements or enhancements to the Editor application as well as changes to the support files to provide better rendering of text or incorporate new conjuncts.

The files provided here should replace those in the previous versions. The first version (Sept. 2001) should now be considered obsolete. Please download the more recent version from this site and install the same. The updates given here may then be used to effect the changes to the software.

The .tab files should replace the corresponding files in the "Font Tables" folder within the directory were the editor was installed. Please note that there will a .tab file for each script in the "Language Files" folder as well. This will be a file of fixed size (4 KB) and this .tab file should not be updated. The .tab files to be updated will all be in excess of 200 Kilobytes.

There is no automatic way to update the files. You will have to do the same manually by copying the files to the appropriate folders and in the process, overwrite the older file.

iitmfced.exe  (most recent version, June 2006)
 
  Download and replace the corresponding file in the directory where the editor was installed. (The download is kept as a zip file. Please unzip the same to get the .exe file.)
