Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Autobiography of Mahatma Gandhiji is added to Gujarati Wikisource
Oh. What about the PDF of the Autobiography of Mahatma Gandhiji? The original scans? On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 12:22 PM, Shiju Alex sh...@wikimedia.org wrote: What is the bug number? Has the PDF been uploaded to Commons? John, this is related to the PDF export option in Wiki. The current solution won't support Indic scripts. There are several bugs related to this. One is this. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28206 An alternate solution (not a good solution) is using LibreOffice by copying text and format the text outside wiki. But I hope a solution will come as we move forward. I know Santhosh was working on this earlier. Do not know its status now.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Autobiography of Mahatma Gandhiji is added to Gujarati Wikisource
Thanks once again Ashwin, I have been considering to release the books officially, but unfortunately, PDF conversion is not working with Gujarati. The bug is filed a while ago, and I have been told that it may get quite a long time to fix the issue. Without having capability of exporting the page as PDF or preparing a book, I won't really feel to rush for the book release.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Autobiography of Mahatma Gandhiji is added to Gujarati Wikisource
What is the bug number? Has the PDF been uploaded to Commons? John, this is related to the PDF export option in Wiki. The current solution won't support Indic scripts. There are several bugs related to this. One is this. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28206 An alternate solution (not a good solution) is using LibreOffice by copying text and format the text outside wiki. But I hope a solution will come as we move forward. I know Santhosh was working on this earlier. Do not know its status now.
