Please don't go back, or suggest going back to such
retorgrade solutions. This kind of non-standardized,
do-your-own-thing in the name of expediency is
exactly the reason why Indian language computing is
in the sorry state that it is. Besides, Shusha is
"non-free", and ties one in to the particular font.
While this kind of a solution might have had its
time and place, currently any software should be
firstly Unicode, secondly Unicode, and lastly Unicode.
Even Windows now has Unicode support for Hindi, and
several other Indian languages. At the very least, any
such system should have converters to and from
Unicode, but seeing that the site does not even
mention Unicode, I for one am not holding my breath.
(And, yes, I am aware that there are Shusha converters
None of them work 100% accurately to the best of my
knowledge.)

Gora
