Srikanth, It may not be blindness, but the cost in migrating to fully support unicode. Regards, Jyothis. http://www.Jyothis.net http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jyothis woods are lovely dark and deep, but i have promises to keep and miles to go before i sleep and lines to go before I press s

So we need to get behind RIM to support Indic I guess ..Seing that India is one of their largest markets, thios should be obvious and common sense, but they're probably blind.. On 25 February 2010 08:29, arjuna rao chavala wrote: > Couple of points I read somewhere on the net are > Blackberry 90

Couple of points I read somewhere on the net are Blackberry 9000 series is unicode compatible. Android was tweaked to display Thai. Nokia's s60 platform/ sdk is supporting indic languages.. Regards Arjun On 2/24/10, Srikanth Ramakrishnan wrote: > Also, some Samsung phones [my mums Beat] display

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Update on Mobile MediaWiki

Also, some Samsung phones [my mums Beat] displays Hindi text, but in a manner which I guess we can call 'broken' output.. The letters get spaced out and matras don't appear or appear as separate entities. Most Motorola phones support Devnagari, but in Samsung, Motorola and BlackBerrys non-devnagari

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Update on Mobile MediaWiki

As Nokia uses QT, there may not many issues. Also andriid based phones also should not be a big problem. This is all based on my general understanding of the mobile technologies. It is the closed source vendors who have to be coaxed to make indic languages rendering work properly. Regards Arjun

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Update on Mobile MediaWiki

Dang.. So, we have to run behind each guy out there. Isn't it possible to like create a library of codes, to display and relese it under the GNU-GPL or something ? Then maybe open source guys may take it in, and corporates may 'derive' thier works frm us? On 24 February 2010 08:05, Praveen Prakash

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Update on Mobile MediaWiki

:) in a sense, yes. But as you know, It is not always feasible with large corporates and projects. This is not reaaly to put them at fault, but They have long term plans for each of their releases, which prevents them from running up to the speed of Unicode standards and renderings Regard

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Update on Mobile MediaWiki

Srikanth, Unicode is a standard. Rendering is the responsibility of the software. If the software follows the standard and renders it correctly, things will look right. Otherwise, otherwise. Usually, large font makers and corporates like microsoft and apple are not exactly up to date in s
