Greetings! I have installed Ubuntu Dapper Beta on my T41. Installation was smooth. Will put up documentation webpage soon.
Treat me as a "new be" here. I am currently testing tamil support in this distro. I have installed ttf-indic-fonts, scim, gnome-language-ta et. al. * Able to use tamil keyboard input (UTF-8) with Gedit, Gaim, Abiword, Vim and Mozilla Firefox. * Have setup CAPS lock key to switch between US and tamil unicode. * In gnome-termial, when doing a cat on a tamil file, the "dots" are printed separately, and certain double-characters are interchanged: http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads/tamil/terminal.jpg * Gnome tamil interface is also good. I still need clarification on couple of things: 1. Gaim, Firefox and Gedit automatically do the translation as per our written tamil when I enter into US language (from gdm) and switch to tamil unicode keyboard typing: http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads/tamil/text-editor.jpg On the other hand, if I login into gdm with Tamil language gnome interface, the above automatic translation does not happen. I get the "o" and "oo" as unicode formats, as also seen from: http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads/tamil/terminal.jpg Why is this so? I'd like to use tamil gnome interface and also be able to get the written tamil form for "o" and "oo" appended to the characters. How can this be fixed? 2. Not all gnome menus have been translated to tamil. Whom should I contact for this? Appreciate any feedback.
