I use scim to select the language (hindi-->phonetic). I would type namaste by using the following sequence of keys: nmsfte (where f gives me the half character and e gives me the matra). Sorry, I cannot reproduce the hindi output here. I use emacs as my default text editor for emails, and it does not support hindi typing. > Unfortunately, that is not a problem that can be easily fixed. > >From my understanding gnome-terminal cannot be easily fixed to > do proper rendering of Unicode, OpenType fonts, which is > currently needed to handle Indian languages.
