Bengali vowels do not attach to base consonants, but are displayed in their standalone form. I'm giving up for the day. Thanks for your testing! Yeah, I saw your bug, that's a weird one! It works for me on AMD64 with the packages I had the PPA build.

I would say that downloading an Abiword binary 2.6.4 from abisource.com may be best, as that's the version that I hope we'll use in Write for 8.2.0. I'll see about that.

It says 2.4.6 was in Gutsy, and that 2.6 should have been in Hardy, but what I see is Abiword 2.4.6-3ubuntu3. What actually happened? That's not out of date: Ubuntu ships horribly outdated versions of AbiWord. For a recent (2.6 series) build follow those instructions to add the PPA that we maintain.

I will update that page, indicating that the package upgrade for Hardy was rejected - sorry for the confusion.
