Indic support

[Suresh Chandrasekharan <suresh chandrasekharan eng sun com>]

Hi Rahul Palkar,

Sorry for not replying in time.
My name is Suresh Chandrasekharan, working in internationalization division of 
Solaris. 
I will cc this mail to people working on Indic support in my group, who knows 
more about current developments and they are also involved in pango.

regards,
suresh

>Actually indlinux is working on the i18n for both KDE and Gnome. We are 
presently testing and creating fonts for indic scripts right now. Unfortunately 
one of the problems that we are facing is inadequate support for indic scripts. 
We are also helping the pango people. However it now seems that NCST is planning 
to get the support into the X windows specification so that i18n for Indian 
languages will be supported in X itself while NCST will donate the linux code.
