Hi Abhinav, it is very common as the other system is not installed with the Unicode which your machine have. The mistakes will be vanished from the other systems, if they install unicode. I do not find any problem in your name as hindi character code is installed in my machine. Similarly if your machine is installed with the Bangla character code, you can also read my signature below, but others cannot. regards anindya <div>On 11/29/06, अभिनव सहाय <<a href="mailto:abhinavy2j@gmail.com">abhinavy2j@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi all I am using edubuntu 6.06. I use ""Scim Input Method"" for writing in hindi. I use the PHONETICS  method. When I write anything, I dont find any spell mistakes but when I see the same on other systems, specially on windoze systems I find spell mistakes all over what I have written, (except for gtalk). Lately I saw the same spelling mistakes in my terminal window as well. Can't understand why is that and is that my fault, how do I rectify that.
