Instead of backporting stuff from recent versions of ICU, I ported the
fixes made by Taneem to Pango code (since Pango Indic code has been
derived from ICU, and since I am more familiar with Pango), and added a
ugly init support hack to ICU 2.2.
Please don't laugh at me. But the fact is I don't know much Linux stuff. Even I don't know what is ICU and what is Pango. Let me give you a feedback on the Windows vesrion. The OS is Windows XP with Service Pack 2 Installed.
The only remaining known issues are * ZWNJ and ZWJ are displayed as square boxes. This has been fixed in the latest version of OOo unstable, so I don't think it is worth the trouble to fix it in OOo 1.1.2. If I can find the patch, I'll try to apply it to the OOo source.
But in 1.1.4 Windows version, there are no problem indeed. Everything is quite OK here. Just The the Danda never comes from the font you are using for your documemt, it comes from Mangal (Windows's default Hindi font).
* Rae-Jopholaa is rendered as untosto-jae-ropholaa
Ra-Yaphala works fine and I tested it in many computers.
* Some fonts (eg: Lohit) are displayed in a garbled manner
All fonts are OK (I don't have Lohit. If possible, pass me that.) except the Danda issue.
I have attached a PDF of the test case that I used earlier in the morning.
Looks great. Want a sample from the Windows version? If you want me to check any instable release on Windows, please let me know.
