Dear Manilal, I am using Ubuntu. from the taskbar i selected the keyboard and chose malayalam. In malayalam there were 4 options (all belongs to SCIM), Inscript, Swanalekha, Ml-Inscript and Ml-Itrans. Swanalekha and ML-Itrans are phonetic (type in english and get translated into malayalam) other two inscript options have its own key lay-out which is universal. I tried all four options , in open office word processor
The results 1. When tried to read Malayalam blogs, emails, the malayalam letters found disjointed. 2. Interestingly, when I composed my previous email in malayalam things worked and when I opened your reply mail, I found them disjointed. But again in compose mode the same text reappeared perfect. 3.In Inscript keyboard lay out a *chillaksharam* is produced with 3 key depressions. the first key is for corresponding letter, the second key for * chandrakkala* and the third key is *Nakthram* key which converts the letter into *chillaksharam* For example, n + d + ] should produce ല + ് + ] = ല് j + d + ] should produce ല + ് + ] = ര് When I tried it in open office, it didnt work. and it didnt produced ക്ക when i typed k + d + k. it gave ക ക ് only. So I think there is some problem with my font files. how can it be corrected? peace shibu 2009/2/18 Manilal K M <[email protected]> > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Shibu Nair <[email protected]> > Date: 2009/2/18 > Subject: [fsug-tvm] മലയാളം ടൈപ്പ് പ്രശ്നങ്ങള് > To: [email protected] > > > Dear friends, > Can somebody help me in solving the problem of typing malayalam? > Except in Gmail compose window, I got strange results while typing > malayalam. the result was same with inscript and swnalekha. > ചില്ലക്ഷരങ്ങളും കൂട്ടക്ഷരങ്ങളും ടൈപ്പ് ചെയ്യാനാവുന്നില്ല. ന്, ല്, ള്, > ര്, വ്വ, റ്റ, ക്ക, ച്ച .... തുടങ്ങിയവയൊക്കെയും ചിതറിനില്ക്കുന്നതായി > കാണുന്നു. ഓപ്പണ് ഓഫീസിലും, ജിംപിലും ഇതു തന്നെ അവസ്ഥ. ജി-മെയിലിലെ > ഫോണ്ട് വലിയ കുഴപ്പമില്ല. നല്ല ഭംഗിയുണ്ട് എന്നാലും ചില അക്ഷരങ്ങള് > ചേരുന്നില്ല. ഇതില് നിന്ന് കോപ്പി ചെയ്ത് വേഡ് പ്രോസസ്സറിലോ ജിംപിലോ > കൊണ്ടു പോകാനും കഴിയുന്നില്ല. ആരെങ്കിലും സഹായിക്കുമോ? > > > Please provide more information so that we may be able to help you. > 1.
