You have not mentioned which applications display garbled text with IndiX
and under which circumstances. You like it or not but IndiX provides
immediate localization solution to many applications including web browsers
(including Mozilla and lynx), terminal emulator, and printing. This kind of
solutions are currently not available with other approaches. People can
safely use IndiX until other people can come with "standard" solution. If
you run real applications then you'll not find any problem. IndiX is mainly
for Indian users and not for Chinese or Japanese people. If they can decide
to go out of the usual way in order to support their languages then why
can't we?

That too using Unicode encoding and OpenType font. And we are not against
any other solution. You can see that we have developed on-screen virtual
keyboard based on Gtk-2/Pango. You can download it from IndiX website.
