Being able to use a computer does not teach you how to install a font which doesn't exist, or which you cannot afford. For several scripts in modern usage, there are practically no workable Unicode fonts in existence: Bengali, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Khmer, Lao, Malayalam, Mongolian, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Telugu, Thaana, Tibetan. Please contradict me, I'll be happy to be wrong! I do not think it is pointless to seek (or even just dream) short-term solutions for a problem which makes computers less useful in most of India and South-East Asia. It is definitely pointless to propose pointless solutions, such as "Transmit Unicode in visual order" (going against Unicode's own rules) or "Just install a font" (even if no font exist). _ Marco
