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. |

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 (If mlcc command is not found, do "./configure --with-tools=mlcc ; make ; make install" in advance.)

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 *. > > > #cat ~/.mlterm/aafont > > DEFAULT = ISCII_HINDI > > You should remove DEFAULT = ISCII_HINDI because the value of > DEFAULT entry should be a font name. Removed. It was set through GUI configurator of mlterm while I was trying various combinations. Mayuresh |

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:(). --- Araki Ken ara...@us... |

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. Mayuresh. |

Please check the following steps. Is that what you wanted to check? I opened mlterm with environment variable LANG=en_US.UTF-8. After that I ran above 3 commands in a row, After that I launched elinks to visit a Devanagari site mentioned before. Mayuresh. |
