The support for Unicode UTF-8 seems to be getting better: http://rohini.ncst.ernet.in/indix/ [ This was just announced on Linux India ] The good news is that we can run the ISCII encoded Hindi locale through ISCII -> UTF-8 Devangari perl script and add a new locale (hi_IN.UTF-8) with the UTF8 encoding. Because Unicode for Indic languages was largely based on ISCII, this process should not be too difficult. ISCII still has the advantage of being more compact and the promise of being one common encoding for all Indian languages. -Arun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message
