title: Embedded Font Troubleshooting
---
KeymanWeb allows users to display and enter text that may require a font
not normally installed with your operating system, by including
(embedding) a special copy of a suitable font in the web page.
However, many older browsers do not support the use of embedded fonts.
This test page will help you to find out whether or not your browser
supports the use of embedded fonts for a number of languages which may
not be fully supported by your operating system.
In the table below, the left column has an image showing how the sample
text should appear, the center column displays the sample text using a
font installed on your system, if available, and the right column shows
the same sample text displayed using an embedded font downloaded
automatically with this web page.

**Note:** This page may take a minute or more to load all of the fonts
needed to display correctly.

**If the embedded font display for a language is not exactly the same as in the corresponding image,**
for example, with script characters shown
but incorrectly positioned or ordered, you will need to install the
Keyman for Windows package for your language onto your computer. You can
download the Keyman for Windows package by clicking the "Help on this
keyboard" link in the On Screen Keyboard. This is likely to be observed
with scripts such as Burmese, Khmer or Tibetan if your operating system
does not fully support the display of the font used for those scripts.
