[ A small question kept nagging me. Why are so many people seemingly
trying to get GNOME support Indic languages properly, but I dont see
much work on the KDE front? Even though in my experience, most of the
users migrating to Linux prefer KDE for its resemblence to the Windoze
world? No flamewar intended here please. Was just a thought.] 

My first naive attempt at making a bangla
webpage (http://www.puroga.com/banglatest.html) met with disaster when
I found out that mozilla still doesn't support Indic combining
characters very well.(Screenshot comparison of source and display at
http://www.puroga.com/banglatest.jpg) But at 
least I could make out what the webpage is trying to say. 

But you can see from the window title of mozilla that KDE hasn't been
able to even try to find out the font involved. Is this still on KDE's
todo list? Indic rendering (or maybe Unicode based fonts) I mean.
