[ubuntu-in] How to install non-unicode hindi support in Ubuntu

[सुरेश कुमार शुक्ल]

नमस्ते शशांक,

Good that you know the typewriter layout.

System->Preferences->SCIM Input Method Setup

Now a GUI pops up. Inside that
IMEngine ->Global Setup

Now you can see list of Indian languages
Select Hindi and within that 'typewriter' (I cross checked these
details on fedora11 PC at hand but should be same)

If you are regular user of Hindi and would like to use a elegant and
complete solution, I would suggest using Inscript layout. Its keys are
laid out logically. There are also good quality keyboards (from TVS)
available in market.
