tamil font fixer and tamil font encoder

Render Tamil text correctly in TextMesh Pro without modifying your localization workflow.

Tamil Font Fixer automatically converts Unicode Tamil text into TSCII or TACE16, allowing legacy Tamil fonts to display correctly in Unity.

Why Tamil text breaks in Unity?

Tamil Unicode fonts rely on OpenType features such as Glyph Substitution (GSUB) and Glyph Positioning (GPOS). Unity's TextMesh Pro does not fully support these features, causing many Tamil characters and ligatures to render incorrectly.

Tamil Font Fixer solves this by converting Unicode Tamil text into TSCII or TACE16, which use fonts that require little or no GSUB/GPOS processing.
