PyQt4: how to add Hindi text to a QTextEdit

Question

How to add Hindi language support while writing text in pyqt?

Here is what I am getting.

Please tell me how I can write Hindi language in a PyQt4 window.

Answer 1

The black boxes can mean two things:

1. The font in the text editor doesn't contain the necessary characters.
2. You made a mistake when converting the text to a Unicode string.

Next steps:

1. Try to copy&paste the text from the console to the editor. If it doesn't, you need a different font. See QtGui.QFont().
2. If copy&paste works, then you made a mistake when preparing the text. Show us the code if you need further help.
