5 Common Mistakes in Telugu Photoshop DTP and How to Fix Them

Every Telugu graphic designer who works with Anufonts has encountered the frustration of garbled text or missing glyphs. These issues stem from specific technical errors that are straightforward to fix once you understand them.

1. Using the Wrong Font Version (Anu7 vs Anu6)

Anu7 and Anu6 use different byte positions for vowel signs like the i-kara (ి). If your text was encoded for Anu7 but you apply an Anu6 font, it will render incorrectly.

2. Copy-Pasting Unicode Text Directly

In 2026, most text comes from WhatsApp, Emails, or Web Portals. Legacy DTP tools like PageMaker cannot handle Unicode Telugu directly.

The Fix: Use our Unicode to Anu Converter first.

3. Incorrect Line Spacing (Leading)

Telugu characters have sub-base conjuncts (vattulu) that can be cut off if the line height is too small. Set leading manually to at least 150%.

Conclusion

Mastering these five fixes will cut your troubleshooting time and allow you to focus on creating beautiful Telugu designs. Use our Unicode Converter to ensure your text is always perfectly formatted for Photoshop.
