Now it is possible to view Armenian letters in Opera Mini browser.

The users need to open opera:config page and then change “Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts” default’s “no” to “yes” and then “save”. This allows to see so-called hard languages (complex scripts) in Opera Server as an image, thus making Armenian letters viewable for the owners of all kinds of phones.

One month ago, programmer Nerses Aznauryan noticed that Georgian letters are readable in Opera Mini.

In a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, he told how the situation developed.

“As it is a little bit hard process to map complex scripts in low phones, Opera Software created a in Opera Mini a possibility to get letters in Opera’s servers and then show them to users as images. Actually, this service was made only for complex script languages. Complex scripts are those languages which have joined letters like Arabic, Hindi or Vietnamese. Georgian is not considered to be complex script like Armenian, but it was viewable in Opera Mini. So I wrote to Opera’s representative at Opera’s forum that it’s time to think about Armenian, too. The representative answered that they will do it but did not specify any date,” Aznauryan said.

A few days ago, he noticed that Opera mini shows Armenian letters, which are now viewable in all smartphones and feature phones no matter whether the operating system is Android or Symbian.
