None of the UTF-8 terminal emulators or editors for Linux that I am aware of supports the Indic script, because the X11 font mechanism is not at all suited for rendering Indic. It lacks ligature substitution mechanisms and cannot perform the character->glyph mapping required for Indic, Syriac, etc. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/#xterm There is no simple fix. If you want a solution, try writing a terminal emulator based on the Pango complex script rendering library. Establish a standard coded glyph collection of Indic presentation forms for terminal emulators and then we can implement that quite easily. http://www.pango.org/ Markus -- Markus G.
