Hi,
Does anyone can help me?
I am building a diorama about the Georgia x Russia war that happened last year.
How can I write the Georgian caracters into the microsoft word or other editor so I can build a road sign similar to this one in this photo?


Thanks in Advance.
Jorge Henrique.

here is something you can try:
(i'm guessing you are using windows)
click start -> run
type charmap
you'll see a pop-up list, pick the characters you need, copy and paste them into 'word' or whatever you are using.
enjoy!

I can't help with the word charachter problem but I've straightened it up as much as I can given my limited knowledge of photoshop so maybe you can resize it on whatever graphics program you have on your PC and use it from the photo

If "charmap" do not bring the effort, as on my pc... try to find a georgian webpage and find the letters you need.
Copy and paste them into "wordpad", if "Word" donīt want to save the text correctly. (also on mine)
Save the textfile with the letters using "Unicode" style. I did this with some russian letters for my (around 45) decal-sets. Try it.
Then you can use the letters by copying them into your Photo- or other editing-software and paste them, so that you can resize or edit them directly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tbilisi
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tskhinvali
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gori,_Georgia

There should be the letters visible. (but not on mine pc)


Perhaps this helps!

greetings...
Soeren
