It definitely bumps with काना,मात्रा,वेलांट्या and backspacing thr. them shifts characters weirdly. not to mention unneeded spacing that it adds. Its not that it does not work. Just that it is like driving fast over spead breakers. -- Regards Shridhar ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List

Just that it is like driving fast over spead breakers. Oops, your this post comes a little too late! I went ahead and started installing konsole. On NetBSD it meant a download of 150MB qt-everywhere and whole night of compilation time. Nevertheless I am continuing with it. Last time I tried konsole on NetBSD it was just crashing on opening. Curious whether things have improved. Have you tried mlterm? It didn't work for me, though there is good feedback about it in various forums. Thanks for the heads up.

[PLUG] Still no _good_ devnagari terminal in sight?
I am not a browser-savvy user. I am not a browser hater though for several tasks a terminal still works better for me. I prefer vi for typing mails via mutt, use mutt as default email client. Always wished I could read those occasional devanagari contents in emails in mutt, in a terminal. Waiting for years for that to work for me. One of my old posts in PLUG drew 0 responses on the topic, probably because there aren't any good options that work. http://www.plug.org.in/pipermail/plug-mail/2010-November/008049.html Yes, there are gnome-terminal, konsole, uxterm and mlterm, though none sufficiently satisfactory such that you can read decently well. Even tried exotic options like a terminal plugin in firefox browser, to no avail. Anyone tried anything that works? Mayuresh ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
