Hi Folks... Still trying! As noted below, I followed Tim's instructions and downloaded the Urdu character set. However, I was not able to access it from Write. I spent some time working on this with a person who speaks and reads several middle eastern languages. Any ideas? What should I try next? Has anyone changed to another character set on their own rather than getting it that way from the factory? Caryl

The download seems to have gone smoothly. It reported that paktype/teheer is now available. However, when I went to the Write Activity, it did not appear among the available choices. Will it have a different name? There are several fonts labeled with letter codes such as kacstPen, cmsy10, wasy10, etc. Caryl Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2010 08:45:00 +1300 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [support-gang] [IAEP] How do I switch the keyboard to another character set?

So, where do I find instructions for doing this and the file I would need to download to the XO? Why isn't it already there or on the wiki. People are using Urdu keyboards, right? Caryl Hi Caryl, This was hinted at during the original answer. Connect the XO to the Internet, open the Terminal Activity and run yum install ttf-paktype/tehreer This asks Fedora to install the typeface for you. Do let me know how you get on.
