You state that you are using Fedora Core 3 - which would make it a trifle simpler. Just ensure that you have the Indic fonts installed, IIIMF installed, boot into the Hindi locale/language, fire up gedit and use Ctrl+Space to switch between languages and F6 (the Function key 6) to switch between keyboards (multiple keyboards are available for a language). If you want to switch between multiple Indic languages use F5 to cycle between language. The keyboard context is relevant to the active window/instance. If you open another instance/tab of gedit, you will revert to the default language (normally chosen as English) > Also, I'm thinking of using "Lohit Hindi" in gedit to type that > document and copy-paste it into OpenOffice. Do you think that should > work?? It is more pertinent to ask whether the rendering of all the Hindi glyphs/characters would be absolutely perfect in OO.o. I am not aware of the current status, so you would have to do some testing.
