Yes, the problems are entirely with OOo. 

No, the problem is not with the repository. This desktop, from where I
am writing this mail, is in a daily update setting of apt-get, as
connected machines usually are. And this gives me all the problems with
Bangla, I have already reported the problems to bengalinux.org. A
particular ODT in Bangla on which I am working for almost two years, a
span within which I have worked on it from three different OS, SuSE, RH
and Ubuntu, is all OK now in Fedora when I send it to some Fedora
machine. But, it is all mixed up in Ubuntu. Even the earlier version of
Ubuntu was OK with it. It is a very lengthy essay with lot of linear
algebra, concerning Marx's Value Algebra. Now, even the equations and
the page numbers are also mixed up. Let alone the 'smartquote' problem.
The 'endquote' for both single and double quotes are not anymore getting
transformed into 'smartquote'. Some of the characters have also got
mangled. It is a nightmare now. But, on Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay's
machine, F7, they are all OK. Mukhopadhyay sent me all the screen-shots.
If you knew Bangla, or had Bangla support on your machine, I would have
requested you to try it on your machine too. 

And the laptop where I was installing the Hindi support, I did it from a
'debmirror' repository, locally on my desktop, which is used by many of
my friends, and it is updated regularly, just the 'main', 'universe',
'multiverse' portions for i386. I completed the last update just a few
hours before the installation. So, I don't think it is an update
problem. 

I think the problem is in what I would prefer to call a 'premature
birth' of Feisty. 

Anyway, thanks, you are really a good friend in need.
