The screenshot of Emacs rendering Devanagari text on my box is below: http://flickr.com/photos/wahjava/857367020/ Do you get similar kind of rendering with CDAC fonts or better than this ? > > The emacswiki link cited above has a recipe for setting a fontset in > your .Xdefaults that worked for me. I don't have CDAC fonts, so I've tried setting following font set in my .Xdefaults: - -- begin .Xdefaults -- Emacs.Fontset-0:-xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1, \ chinese-gb2312:-*-fangsong ti-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-gb2312.1980-*, \ unicode-mono:-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-*-*-iso10646-1, \ unicode-wide:-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-*-*-iso10646-1, \ mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-*-*-*-devanagari, \ indian-glyph:-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-*-*-*-devanagari - -- end .Xdefaults -- Setting above font set in my Emacs doesn't have any effect on rendering of Indic fonts. They render same as they render before changing .Xdefaults as shown in the screenshot.
