Actually, not sure if this has any thing to with some font,etc.. The problem reminded me a bit about a Sherlock Holmes short shory where messages with alphabets replaced by characters are used... Here, to solve it, we can use logic...

The result of my logic is that the message reads as follows:
"IT DOES NO GOOD TO DWELL ON DREAMS AND FORGET TO LIVE"
The top line therefore interprets to "S_ARAN" with the missing letter one of the unused alphabets in the above sentence - BCHJKPQUXYZ... Could be S.Karan but not sure...

EDIT: The short story mentioned above is "The Adventure of the Dancing Men" featured in "The Return of Sherlock Holmes"

The image i am showing here contains some hidden message realted to this question, if anybody have any idea about this image or he/she know the message then please tell me.

Q) A boy named Karan wrote a coded advice to his engineer friend Gullu who’s so absorbed into getting a good CGPA, that he attends all classes, solves all assignments, and just generally acts like a hard core ghotu. After getting the message, Gullu tries hard to decode it, but to no avail. Finally,he comes to you for help. Help him out by telling him what Karan is trying to tell him.

To solve the puzzle, you need to use logic and guesswork... First, I searched for single letter words - if there are any, the character is probably A, but it can also be an I if it is the first word... Next, there are a lot of two letter words that can help... Many of them had the character for O common... But there was both ON and NO - For two letter words that can read both ways, I think this is the only pair... So, from here, I proceed... Then, look at AND - when I have a three letter world with middle N, my first guess is AND... I next get _OOD which is probably GOOD... Through this process of guesswork and reasoning, I arrived at the solution...

Hey arun that's really nice. I have read about this techniques but am too lazy to really practice and learn them. But, such puzzles are really nice.
