Already auto-text stuff happens quite smoothly with Latin scripts when you use OpenOffice. Gaim too, supports auto-text through its plugin architecture. However, to understand how the Indic conjuncts are handled on Linux you need to be a programmer to understand what goes on under the hood. Even on Linux, gtk and qt (the two primary toolkits) handle the same stuff quite differently. Once you read that code, it becomes apparent that computer isn't quite the bottleneck as far as predictive Indic typing goes, rather it is the user. To borrow a now-famous quote by the author Ketaki Kusari Dyson, your "neuro-muscular linguistics" works against you. ;-) --indra. > ..peekay -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
