In Writer, how can I type Indian fonts, such as
Devanagari/Devanaagarii, for Hindi or Sanskrit?
I'm using LibreOffice 3.4.3 on Linux (Trisquel 4.5.1).
I tried going to the following places:
Trisquel: System > Administration > Language Support
Writer: Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages
Thank you.

Hello Winston,
You can do the following - works for openoffice on debian 6.0, I
suppose that's the same for libreoffice:
* download sanskrit font sanskrit2003.ttf (
http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/itranslator2003.htm -
http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/sanskrit2003.zip )
* copy sanskrit2003.ttf to /usr/share/fonts/truetype (that should be
the right path, but I'm not sure on your distro)
I just click on the font and a font preview window pops up with an
"Install Button"
I use Ubuntu [Debian], and that is how I install fonts. All my fonts
appear in a .font hidden folder. So if they need to go into the folder
you listed, the need to go into the hidden one as well.
There is a font named Devnagri. I have seen over 200 versions of that font.
* supposing you have Gnome (if you use KDE let me know), go to
System --> Preferences --> Keyboard and choose the tab
Disposition (that should be the english name)
* click "add", choose "By Nation", select "India", click "add"
again, then close the keyboard preferences window
* if it doesn't appear by itself, add a keyboard indicator on the
Gnome menu panel --> right clic on the panel, click "add to panel"
and select "Keyboard indicator"
* once you have the keyboard indicator on your panel, select indian
layout, then open libreoffice writer
* if the keyboard layout has changed... go back to indian again
* select sanskrit 2003 font
* and finally... write in sanskrit! :)
Namastè! or I'd better write... नमस्ते :)
