Dear Friends, It is necessary to develop an application and environment which supports Hindi in Linux. AFAIK we have atleast 2 fonts "Richa.ttf" and "Naidunia.ttf" which are compatible in Linux. to enable the fonts (or generally true type fonts) in RedHat Linux 6.1, 1. copy all ttf fonts to '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf', 2. "cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf", 3. (run command) "ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir" 4. (run command) "chkfontpath -add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttf" 5. restart X server by pressing CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE. now you can use Hindi as well as almost all true type fonts in Linux. especially in KDE.
