This looks really helpful, thanks!
Looks good to me since many ppl come in Y!A and ask questions to find answer that your site can possibly meet. Would like to refer this site’s URL in future inquiries. Hope that’s ok with the administrator of this site. Have a nice day!
Very good! but, how to–
Save/Copy/ change size of font ?
Can I down load the programme on to my computer?
Please reply.
The font size of the Bangla text can be changed if you use a mail client that allows RTF (Rich Text Format) rather than Plain Text. For example, the new version of Google mail, in the “Compose” function will let you increase and decrease font size. Please email me at sen.supriyo@gmail.com for further help with this problem.
