Thank you for your replies.
I followed the messages below from elcico2001 and "webmaster for Kracked
Press Productions" about installing Sanskrit 2003 and changing preferences.
Trisquel 4.5.1 is a little different from what elcico2001
wrote---instead of a "Disposition" tab, there is a "Layouts" tab. I went
to the following places:
System
> Preferences
> Keyboard
> Layouts (tab)
> Add (button)
> By language (tab)
> Language (drop-down list)
> Hindi.
On the GNOME panel at the bottom of my desktop, there are two keyboard
icons, one with an earth ("Keyboard preferences"), and one without
("IBus input method framework").
Right-clicking the icon without an earth gives a menu with radio buttons
for "USA" and "India Hindi Bolnagri".
When I chose "India Hindi Bolnagri", I was able to type Devanaagarii
(Hindi, Sanskrit) in Writer.
@soumalya ray,
@Tom Davies:
Trisquel 4.5.1 has System > Preferences, but no Language.

dont know about 'trisquel'.for ubuntu lucid,i went to
system>preference>language
choose bengali(as its my native language).keyboard shortcut appear in the
panel(previous to lucid,you need to add this separately).
anyway when i need to type,i just clicked on it and bengali gets
activated.its system wide-works in firefox,chromiun,LO.you need not to
install any separate language pack for it to work.just the font.since
sanskrit uses devnagari script (also used by hindi),so that should not be a
problem.
but as i've said this is for ubuntu lucid;dont know about trisquel

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/itranslator2003.htm>-
http://www.omkarananda-ashram.**org/Sanskrit/sanskrit2003.zip<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 :)
