Hi, Finally made the patch.This patch makes the tamil module ligature info in the X fonts and diff-ed with the CVS version checked out on March 6th.This also containes patch for HELLO.utf8(for hello in tamil), pangox.aliases(with the new tamil font name),configure.in(for the Xft based tamil shaping module). Things that have to go out are : fonts/tscakaram.pcf modules/tamil/taconv.h modules/tamil/taconv.c New thing to come in modules/tamil/tamil-xft.c (attached) Maybe Robert Brady can put the new tamil fonts into pango-fonts, into the indic directory itself(attached) Still the Xft based shaping engine has in it info about the ligatures.I'll have to see if I can manage to put the OpenType tables into the font and use the OT functions, just for the fun of it.
