Re: [libreoffice-users] In Writer, how can I type Indian fonts, such as Sanskrit?
Thank you for your replies. I followed the messages below from elcico2001 and webmaster for Kracked Press Productions about installing Sanskrit 2003 and changing preferences. Trisquel 4.5.1 is a little different from what elcico2001 wrote---instead of a Disposition tab, there is a Layouts tab. I went to the following places: System Preferences Keyboard Layouts (tab) Add (button) By language (tab) Language (drop-down list) Hindi. On the GNOME panel at the bottom of my desktop, there are two keyboard icons, one with an earth (Keyboard preferences), and one without (IBus input method framework). Right-clicking the icon without an earth gives a menu with radio buttons for USA and India Hindi Bolnagri. When I chose India Hindi Bolnagri, I was able to type Devanaagarii (Hindi, Sanskrit) in Writer. @soumalya ray, @Tom Davies: Trisquel 4.5.1 has System Preferences, but no Language.

All my fonts appear in a .font hidden folder. So if they need to go into the folder you listed, the need to go into the hidden one as well. There is a font named Devnagri.

Re: [libreoffice-users] In Writer, how can I type Indian fonts, such as Sanskrit?
Tom, In Trisquel 4.5.1, System Preferences does not have options with the exact names Regionalis(z)ation or Localis(z)ation, although there is a Keyboard option. Thank you for suggesting that I update the Trisquel wiki. It's been a long time since I edited a wiki, but I if I get more familiar with the language options, I may edit the Trisquel wiki.

The documentation http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/switch-languages-and-keyboard-layout suggests that Debian/Ubuntu documentation is close to what you need so it's worth looking around in that preferences folder for something that looks about right. The trisquel documentation for that does need to be updated. Perhaps you could manage to update it? Have you done any wiki editing before?

Re: [libreoffice-users] In Writer, how can I type Indian fonts, such as Sanskrit?
Possibly not everybody knows---today (September 17) is Software Freedom Day. There may be events happening in a city near you: http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ To celebrate, the maintainers of Trisquel, a fully-free version of Linux, have released version 5.0: http://trisquel.info/ (I found out about the above events just today.)

Re: [libreoffice-users] In Writer, how can I type Indian fonts, such as Sanskrit?
Tom, I fixed the problem about typing in Devanagari/Devanaagarii (the alphabet of Hindi and Sanskrit) in Writer on Linux. Thank you. If anyone else has the same problem, you can try looking at my reply below at Saturday, 17 September, 2011, 17:55, about the steps that I took for Trisquel 4.5.1.
