I was able to type in Tamil in Freemind - a java app, by selecting a Tamil font. I see in preferences that JOSM has a choice of language - but no indian language is there. I am translating JOSM to Tamil in the hope that when it is done, JOSM will be recompiled to support Tamil. There is no dialogue box to choose the font just now. -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
