Re: [Indic-computing-users] unicode

GK:} Well since raghu font doesnt have english glyphs, wherever english is
GK:}there you will get boxes, you have to also set the locale to hi_IN
GK:}before starting the application
GK:} eg after setting the font explicitly
GK:}  $ export LANG=hi_IN
GK:}  $ kword &                  or whatever application you have set the
GK:}font for & have the translations in unicode.

I did that export also. We have the iscii based translations, only for
KOFFICE

GK:}or better still do a 
GK:}  $ strace kword 2> /tmp/msg.log
GK:}  and go through /tmp/msg.log to see if the Hindi mo files are
GK:}accessed ?

I did that, it loads the mo files also.
still all are boxes.
As I said in my previous mail, after converting iscii to unicode,
for each iscii character, there are 3 characters available in
unicode based po files. Is that the reason ?
Will the application  accept 2 by 2 bytes for each input ?
