Hi<br><br>Ok so no responses but have been able to figure somethings out<br><br>1. The hindi typing works well in Abiword (which also leads me to believe that there is also a bug in Open Office)<br><br>

Hi<br><br>I have been able to setup the Devanagari / hindi packages and even use<br>them to type.<br><br>However there are two unresolved issues<br><br>1. In open office - am unable to type full words - after typing one<br>
letter the next letter does not get typed unless a space is inserted .<br>this is a pain and makes the whole typing business unusable.<br><br>Funnily the typing works well in gedit, and even within thunderbird.<br>So is it a problem with Open Office or with the way the hindi script is
<br>setup. (Does such a problem exist in other languages as well)<br>This issue was raised earlier also but am not sure it was resolved.<br><br>this is text typed in Thunderbird in the Hindi Script *िहन्दी*<br>this is how it appears in open office *ह ि न ् द ी*
<br><br>So any suggestions , advice.<br><br>2. Am searching for the Unicode Hindi Keyboard Layout<br><br>Tried making one myself - but feel that some characters are missing.<br><br>Have searched the various links posted earlier but nowhere can i find a
<br>visual layout - i.e the hindi script mapped to a qwerty keyboard. Any<br>place i can find it ??? *ready made*<br><br><br>Q q W w E e R r T t Y y<br>औ ौ ऐ ै आ ा ई ी ऊ ू भ ब<br><br>3. The question - why is the rendering of the half akshar not happening
<br><br>Hindi gets written as *िहन्दी* but say when we remove the spaces within<br>the open office word it appears properly (it does not appear here as it<br>does in the open office document. But the half akshar does get rendered
<br>properly.<br><br>Finally what is the formal acceptability of these not rendered half<br>akshar's - some of the websites have these but say when using the star<br>dict English hindi dictionary all he half akshar's are rendered properly.
<br>The following is text copied from star dict here again in open office the<br>half akshar gets rendered properly but pasting it here it appears with<br>the half अक्षर symbol<br><br>हिन्दी<br> "'Hindi' हमारे देश की राजभाषा है."
<br><br>any suggestions, advice<br><br>thanks<br>ram<br><br><br></blockquote></div><br>
