Hi all, Redhat has announced version 8.0 which has announced using a new UI called Bluecurve anstead of KDE and GNOME.

I think this is just a collection of icons and background images they're using to make both Gnome and KDE look alike. It should have no impact on the work of people working on Indic language support. -Arun |

From localization ( translation ) perspectives not change, but we should create our own themes, to give more indianized touch. Major new stuff is Gnome 2.0 as default desktop with Opentype support as default, metacity window manager ( full unicode support ), Gnome terminal based on pango, a windows kind of registry database Gconf ( this was there for quite some time , but only now its used in Gnome 2 for all configurations stuff ). Also new being bundling mozilla as default browser & OpenOffice as office suite. Its basically for desktop users. As such Redhat 8.0 is bit heavy on resources & bit unstable. Regards, Karunakar |

Is it true? Yes, the native encoding for both KDE and GNOMe is UTF-8. BTW, does anyone know why iso8859-12 never become devanagari 8-bit encoding encoding? --- Baiju M ===== __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Also maybe ISCII doesnt fit ISO requirements, it would be better to have different codepages for each language, iso8859-12 for dev, iso8859-16,17 so on for other languages. Having them seperate will help each language have its own ordering, character equivalence for a code point need not be maintained. Sort order based on code point is easier. anyway its little too late for 8 bit standards, but maybe having them defined would do no harm. Regards, Karunakar |
