What terminal emulator are you using ? I have tried tamil characters on both xterm (248) and gnome-terminal (2.28.1). Even if you set the terminal emulator to UTF-8 mode, xterm just doesn't know tamil while gnome-terminal doesn't use fixed width to display tamil characters which is what seems like happening in your case. Try the following in the command line, echo -e "#\0340\0256\0205#" If you notice that the tamil character is not between the '#' characters but instead overlaps with one, thats the problem ur facing then. I don't know of a solution to this, other than considering tamil characters to take twice the width and leave a space between some tamil characters you print. -- 0 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
