Thanks for the update. May I know what resources do you use to change the layout? If needed, I can file a bug in Debian to make the changes take effect there (which, consequently, I think will appear in Ubuntu as well). BTW, I personally use Inscript layout. Any advantage of using Jhelum instead? And how does Jhelum compare with other Indian languages layout, primarily Hindi? Regards. -- Please reply to this list only.
