Any one know of a good way to generically input indic languages in Win 98 browsers (IE and/or Netscape)? Preferably something free / open source / easily available? I know this is the 25 million dollar question, but Im just wondering if other people have ideas that I dont... I know Sunil was working on a Java applet for this some time back, but is he still? Mithi has some good ActiveX controls also as I understand. Anything else that anyone knows about? MS distributes Global IME for CJK languages, but nothing for Indic. [Please dont flame me for using MS. Its not my choice.] -- Tapan |

Don't know if that's what what you're looking for but have a look at http://www.aksharamala.com/ They have something on this; it's actually supposed to be free for a few days. However, the guy who runs the show (Srinivas) has been known to be considerate to freelance developers. Also, the takhti editor at http://geocities.com/hanu_man_ji/ works even on Win3.1, and the binary is free. Not exactly an ime but can be used for copy paste. Actually, I'm yet to find a wysiwyg editor on linux for devanagari. If it can be done with notepad and takhti I'm sure it can be done on linux too. That's not relevant to your query; just a thought.

If I am not wrong then IE 4.5 (or 5.5?) onwards should render Indic characters properly on even Win 98 because Uniscribe engine (USP10.DLL) has been linked statically with it. But I am not sure about input of Indian languages. - Keyur __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

But I am not sure > about input of Indian languages. Yes. IE 5.5 onwards, Iguess. Definitely IE 6 does render Indic on Win98, provided you have the propoer Opentype font installed. Example is the case of Magal.ttf (Hindi). Uniscribe is part of IE. -Pavanaja ----------------------------------------------------- Dr. U.B.
