I have been playing with similar concepts on Java. A bit difficult given
the current constraints of java. However, under X it should not be rocket
science at all - think ttf font and xfstt true type font server. On
console, we'll either have to come up with a monospaced pcf font, which
will be butt ugly, but usable.
Now dont go thinking about true internationalisation, that may cause most
of us to consider rotating on rashbehari crossing a serious occupation for
life. But really that would be really interesting tho' (i mean the
language and not the rotation).
Maybe we can get to see an demo or a whitepaper on what Azhar ha already
achieved?
