How to view and type Bangla? There are several ways for that, we are providing the simplest one. It requires an internet connection and we think all of you already have it.
Step 01
How to install Icomplex
Just download I-COMPLEX from here and install it. This is enough to only view Bangla correctly. You might need to restart the computer.
Step 02
Download any Bangla unicode font: “BNG” from here or “SolaimanLipi” from here or download any other Bangla unicode font from here.
Copy and paste the fonts to “C:\windows\fonts” folder or “control panel\fonts” folder to view Bangla in the web pages.
Step 03
To write Bangla anywhere, download and install the “Avro” software from here. You might need to restart the computer.
Step 04
Run “Avro” and press “F12″ and type something. There are several modes to write Bangla. Easiest way is to Select “Avro Phonetic” from the menu of AVRO KEYBOARD. Write anywhere “ami banglay gan gai”, it will be automatically typed “আমি বাংলায় গান গাই”
(Mane, English e “ami banglay gan gai” likhle bangla te “আমি বাংলায় গান গাই” lekha hobe.
There are also some other available methods including typing with traditional keyboard layouts (Bijoy, Unibijoy or Unijoy) and some other.

Note:
We are not sure how “i-complex” is doing in MAC OSX operating systems. If MAC supports Unicode and Complex Scripts, then you can see Bangla from Safari on MAC pc. If “i-complex” is already installed in Windows pc, you can view http://www.bn.bdeduarticle.com correctly with the Safari (for windows) browser, as i can see it now.
OK ALL DONE.
