I seem to have missed the original message, but this is an area that we have been working in, and we would be glad to help out, if you can give us some more details about what you need. Please mail me off-list, or ask on the indlinux-group or indlinux-hindi mailing list that you can join from the top of the page: http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/MailingLists Unfortunately, desktop publishing in Indian languages is still far from being ready for prime-time. OpenOffice can do it after a fashion, and it is possible to shoehorn it into TeX/LaTeX, but those do not support Unicode. I have high hopes for Scribus in this regard, but we are also looking at ways to make publishing in TeX easier for Indian languages. Regards, Gora
