Typing Burmese font - Zawgyi-one

Hi!

I am an active user of TRADOS for my Burmese Translation assignments. I was using TRADOS 2017 for about 3 years. Somehow, I was able to use not only Unicode Burmese fonts but a popular in Myanmar font called Zawgyi-one which is a non-Unicode font.

Please, note that I know the fact that Zawgyi-one is not 100% compatible Unicode font.  Anyway i it is being used by a lot fo people and Clients. Once my Client wants to use only that font, I have to find a solution how to use it as I had been using it for last 3 -4 years when I ahd TRADOS 2017 and W7.

Recently I purchased the License for TRADOS 2021, and it so happened that I decided to upgrade my W7 to W10. After that, my translation into Burmese became a nightmare for me! Currently I am expecting a new Order where I must use above mentioned Zawgyi-one font. It will be a quite big Order. So, I wanted to be prepared for that job. I am trying to translate a small file using my old TM and Terms.

A new change in TRADOS 2021 for Burmese is the fact that, in the option for the language, we have only one choice - Burmese (Myanmar). In previous years, I must choose Burmese when I wanted to use Zawgyi-one font. Now, I do not see that option. So, I am forced to choose Burmese (Myanmar) and font Zawgyi-0ne. I tried that combination many-many times but when I type my Burmese text, I can see only corrupted characters. I can see that I had chosen language - Burmese (Myanmar) and the font – Zawgyi-one:

Trados Studio settings showing the selection of Burmese (Myanmar) language and Zawgyi-One font in the Custom Language Fonts section.

But when I try to type with my KeyMagic, my text is displayed corrupted or sometimes I do see only two-three characters though I had typed a lot more!!

Trados Studio editor displaying corrupted Burmese characters when typing with KeyMagic, despite correct term display in the Term Recognition pane.

What is the strangest thing is the fact that, I can see my terms correctly but when I copy them into Editor, they too are displayed corrupted!!

Maybe, someone can help me and tell me what I need to type and display correctly Zawgyi-one font?!
