Hi I was messing around with fonts at xterm. then Something happened. I
used akaash fonts. and I had changed the name of a file to bangala. and
in xterm it showed the filename in bengali. I know there may be problems
with rendering that but still it shows in bangala.What we need now is
some way to improve the english glyphs in akaash. that would help a lot.
gimli is that possible. I mean since it is english and I can read it. I
could change the glyphs. but don't know how. can we copy the glyphs for
the gnome standard font(whichever that is) into it.the the terminal
would be cool. ls and you have filenames in bengali. maybe we could
change ls the command itself to a bengali. does anyone know something
about gnoterm. does it use pango to render it's fonts. I am finally
figuring things out a bit.
If pango renders all the fonts in the desktop we could solve it by
fixing pango. I could help there. as for office suites lets use some
office that uses gtk2. know any.. I don't know if openoffice.org uses
pango. I don't think it does.
oh oh oh I remembered something. we could have terminal in bengali too but using gtkfd
and gnometerm in full screen mode.
so when a user logs in text mode he could still use bengali. compiling gnometerm with
fb support. insted of bash or any shell we lanch gnoterm in fb. does this idea sound
dumb??
