Title:
Malayalam: is a pre-processor required?
Status in “texlive-bin” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: texlive-lang-indic
The description for texlive-lang-indic says, "malayalam -- Fonts for
typesetting Malayalam, with a pre-processor."
Does this mean that the pre-processor is required? If so, is it
included in the package?
The malayalam package and help file (mm-usr-0.9.6.pdf) over at sarovar
(http://sarovar.org/frs/?group_id=17&release_id=795) indicate that the
LaTeX file gets saved as a .mm file. Then the the script mal is run
on that .mm file. The resulting output is a .tex file that can be
processed with latex or pdftex. BUT, the mal script and the mlym
binary that it calls are not packaged with texlive-lang-indic.
If i grab the latest version malayalam-0.9.6.tar.gz from sarovar and
install it, then i have the mal script and mlym binary. But I had
expected them to be installed with texlive-lang-indic since
/usr/bin/devnag and /usr/bin/ebong are installed as part of texlive-
lang-indic.
This is all with Ubuntu 7.10 and texlive-lang-indic 2007-12ubuntu3.1.
