By "glyph substitution", do you mean that depending on the place of a given letter in a word, a different glyph has to be used. This is what Arabic speaking people seem to call "shaping". There is no shaping in d-i, so this area needs work also. > What fonts does this use? (bdf type1 ...) Any means of testing font > rendering for the installer without actually having to do a install? I'm not a deep specialist of this. I leave this to other d-i contributors... Up to now, I've got contacts from two people proposing their help in hindi. See thread in debian-boot....
