Devnagari Unicode in Linux

["Paras pradhan" <paras bajranet com np>]

hi all,


i am working on running indic unicode in linux ( not in popular linux
distrubtion).

what i did is:

installed using localedef, installed our keymapping etc etc.

now when i open terminal from Gnome. i can see and type devnagari
characters with no problem.

NOw my problem is:

When i type in Gedit. i guess pango is not rendering. Rectangle boxes
comes when i type.


So.. do i need X font server for this ?

Do i need True type font??

I am using pango 1.2.1

What do i have to confiure in pango?.


Any links, how can i confiure unicode, indic devnagari, pango in typical
linux distro ( not in red hat, mandrake, slackware etc. these are very
easy to play with).




Thanks
