 "use_ind=true" option which depends on libctl_iscii.so and libind_hindi.so
doesn't seem to work correctly.
 Does following commands change appearance of mlterm ?

$ mlcc use_bidi false
$ mlcc use_ind false
$ mlcc use_ind true

Attached. This shows garbled characters when invoked with LANG=en_US.UTF-8
If not invoked so, no matter what settings are made in mlterm it shows
just "*" in place of all Devanagari characters.

 Umm... I'm sorry but I can't think of the cause.

 Will you give me a screenshot in your environment ?

 Are libctl_iscii.so and libind_*.so files located in $(libdir)/mlterm ?

libfribidi.so is present at usual location. But I think anyway it's not
required for devanagari. There is no error message for libind*.

Not getting font related error message mentioned above now.

Oh yes. You are right. I see messages like these:

I will check whether library is at the right location.

That looks ok. It's not the best possible rendering though is legible. As

 Umm... I'm sorry but I couldn't still find the reason why Devanagari
characters aren't shown.
 Are there any error messages in ~/.mlterm/msg.log file ?
 Possibly mlterm might fail to load libind modules.

 If I start mlterm -ind -bi=false (without ~/.mlterm/main) in
my environment, elink http://maharashtratimes.indiatimes.com/newsletter.cms
is shown as an attached picture (which seems a bit strange though:().

I do these typically in the terminal:

elinks www.google.co.in
elinks http://maharashtratimes.indiatimes.com/newsletter.cms

See only stars in place of Devanagari character.  Only time something
different happens is when I set LANG=en_US.UTF-8 as environment variable.
This time some garbled characters appear instead of *.

Removed. It was set through GUI configurator of mlterm while I was trying

 OK.

 Well, is DVYG0ntt.ttf font properly installed ?
 Please check it as follows.

$ fc-list | grep TTYogesh

 And will you send me a sample text you try to show ?

 You should remove DEFAULT = ISCII_HINDI because the value of
DEFAULT entry should be a font name.

 Could you tell me the results of following commands ?

$ mlcc use_bidi
$ mlcc use_ind
$ mlcc encoding
$ mlcc type_engine
$ cat ~/.mlterm/font
$ cat ~/.mlterm/aafont

[Mlterm-dev-en] mlterm with Devanagari

[Mayuresh <may...@ac...>]

Hi

I am new to the list and this is my first day of working with mlterm.
Please excuse me if I am missing anything obvious.

I have installed the latest version 3.0.11 and tried to view Devanagari -
just by visiting google.co.in in elinks, though no luck yet.

I believe my compilation with indic option is fine since the option does
appear in the configuration gui.

I have Lohit fonts already installed and after reading README.indic I also
installed DVYG0ntt.ttf.

I have tried launching by both forms of command shown in README.indic and
also tried tweaking encoding to utf8 and font to one of the devanagari
fonts in gui as well as through command line options and also as suggested
in README.indic.

For most of these times, the devanagari characters appeared just as *.
Only time something different happened was when I launched with
environment variable LANG=en_US.UTF-8, though in place of * just some
garbled characters appeared.

Would appreciate help in trying to get it work.

Mayuresh.

 I fixed my mistake which caused this problem, and released new version.

 If many users want ~/.config/mlterm instead of ~/.mlterm,
I don't disagree with you, but I'm a bit worried about trouble due to breaking
compatibility.
 How about the way to use ~/.config/mlterm/* only if ~/.config/mlterm
directory exists ? (~/.config/mlterm directory must be made in advance,
though.)

4] how I'm using mlterm

1] bug report 1 - 3.0.9 crashes on pixmap failure
I automatically updated to mlterm 3.0.9 and haven't succeeded in launching it since. I have revert to the prior version. Here's the output when launched from a console:

$ mlterm &
X Error of failed request:  BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)

  Resource id in failed request:  0x0

I found a log file in ~/.mlterm/msg?????.log:
*** ERROR HAPPEND ***  Failed to load icon file(/usr/share/pixmaps/mlterm-icon-wmaker.png).

2] bug report 2 - freedesktop.org compliance
freedesktop.org has a standard including use of $XDG_CONFIG_DIR for application config directories, ie. instead of cluttering up ~ with just ONE MORE teeny weeny minor config folder (I promise, just one more...), it gets put in a subdirectory. Usually, that would mean ~/.config/mlterm instead of ~/.mlterm.

3] message response trouble
I had written a few weeks ago with another bug report. I only saw your response now when examining the sourceforge message archive. I never got the original response.
Anyway, now I know that you conscientiously and promptly responded, so thanks.

4] how I'm using mlterm
Just in case you're curious - I've been submitting commits updating the sourceforge project libhdate for printing Hebrew calendars and date information

aloha.

Subject: [Mlterm-dev-en] bug-report: xcore not being used by default, or even when specified

Message-ID: <132...@we...>

> Earlier today, I installed your app from the Debian repository, and got it to properly display Hebrew character in bidi. I wanted to bring to your attention that the man page indicates that the default font rendering engine is xcore; However, when I invoked mlterm from a bash shell, mlterm would start in xft. I would have to use mlconfig to deselect xft.

 I think Debian package applies a patch to change the default value of
"type_engine" option from "xcore" to "xft", so I wonder if the patch
causes this problem.

 It is maybe possible to avoid this problem by removing (or renaming)
/usr/lib/mlterm/libtype_xft.so file. If /usr/lib/mlterm/libtype_xft.so
is not found, mlterm uses xcore fonts forcibly.

[Mlterm-dev-en] bug-report: xcore not being used by default, or even when specified

[Boruch B. <bor...@ya...>]

mlterm version 3.0.8; Debian Wheezy: bash v4.1.5

Hello y'all,

Earlier today, I installed your app from the Debian repository, and got it to properly display Hebrew character in bidi. I wanted to bring to your attention that the man page indicates that the default font rendering engine is xcore; However, when I invoked mlterm from a bash shell, mlterm would start in xft. I would have to use mlconfig to deselect xft.

EXAMPLE TEST PROCEDURE
======================
(from an xterm, running bash shell with a locale en_US.UTF8)
$ mlterm &
$ export LC_ALL="he_IL.UTF-8"; hcal; export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
(displays RTL, but with boxes instead of Hebrew characters)
(ctrl+right-click, select font window, xft is selected)
(deselect xft, apply changes and exit, Hebrew displays OK)
(alt+F4 to kill window, so now back in xterm/bash)
$ mlterm --type=xcore &
$ export LC_ALL="he_IL.UTF-8"; hcal; export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
(same as above, still xft)
$ mlterm --type=cairo &
$ export LC_ALL="he_IL.UTF-8"; hcal; export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
(mlconfig indicates cairo engine IS being used. That doesn't)
(help with Hebrew, but that's not the bug I'm reporting)
(alt+F4 to kill window, so now back in xterm/bash)


EXAMPLE TEST PROCEDURE
======================
This test procedure just asks you to note that mlconfig
indicates that no font is selected by default, and that
when one is manually selected, Hebrew <WILL> display properly
<EVEN> when using the xft engine
$ mlterm &
$ export LC_ALL="he_IL.UTF-8"; hcal; export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
(displays RTL, but with boxes instead of Hebrew characters)
(ctrl+right-click, select font window, xft is selected)
(instead of deselecting xft, note that the font selected is)
(blank, from family default. Change it to a font with Hebrew)
(support, apply changes and Hebrew displays properly)

 I'm sorry but mterm-3.0.6 has a "double free" problem which was fixed
after mlterm-3.0.7.
 Please see following Debian BTS in detail.
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640180

 For the time being, how about carrying out downgrade to mlterm-3.0.5 ?
 (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/i386/mlterm/3.0.5-2)
 
 Mlterm-3.0.8 package of debian sid seems avaialble at
 http://packages.debian.org/sid/mlterm-common,
 though I don't test it on Ubuntu 11.10.

 Actually it is necessary to install 'flex' command before building
mlterm-3.0.5post-20110629, but it seems that 'flex' command doesn't exist
in your system.
 Now I uploaded http://mlterm.sf.net/mlterm-3.0.6pre-20110719.tar.gz which
doesn't need 'flex', so please retry it.
