Interesting that you'd put the question out. Although, the question in the current form is a bit broad and far reaching to be responded to within the limits of a LUG list mail. > Actually I want to write about problems that I am facing while working > with windows bengali support.

A quick way to test out how Bengali support is on Linux is to spend a few minutes (well, not exactly a few minutes) on a system that is: - either installed in English with Bengali support enabled or, - has been installed to provide the complete Bengali experience Either way, you can test out - inputs, display and printing across a range of applications. Someone, who by sheer volume of Bengali output using Linux, vouches Fedora 10 to have the most complete support for Bengali, could perhaps say more ;) -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work Sent from Mumbai, MH, India _______________________________________________ Ilug-cal-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://list.ilug-cal.org/mailman/listinfo/ilug-cal-discuss
