Re: gnome terminal displaying utf-8 unicode text

You actually want to be looking at vte, the terminal rendering widget
for gnome-terminal.

There are multiple levels to getting indic text to work well. 

1) getting cat text_file.txt to work
2) getting ls to align columns right
3) getting line editing to work (e.g., shells)
4) getting programs like vi to work

1 and 2 are going to be a lot easier than 4.  I'm not really sure how
hard 3 would be.
