This works beautifully. Thanks. I have to make a presentation for a workshop in Devnagari. Normally, I use org-mode for making the presentation. The presentation includes some work done on R and included using org-babel. So there are source codes. Now it turns out that the presentation has to be in devnagari because most people in the audience do not understand hindi. So, I have to translate my data so when they are processed in R and presented as graphs and tables, they come in Devanagari. This works. I have to type my notes in org-mode in Devnagari. I can do this using scim and also using the above solution provided by you. Then I need to export the whole thing via xetex/beamer to PDF. I am yet to get this right but Suvayu has given some clues. Will check them out and report back. Thanks both of you, Vikas
