You may have understood already the issue with gnome based
applications.  Since your team has solved the problem with bspeller,
could you tell us what needs to be done in this case (a general
solution) of gnome so that all indian language printing becomes
automatic.

Also can the bspeller approach be generalized so that other indian
languages can also use the same approach for implementing support.  I
will get a team of students who will be working three days a week for
an year.  Would it be possible for you to help them understand the
problem so that they can work on this issue?
