Wrote all that here:
http://sahyog.blogspot.com/2007/10/enabling-indic-in-firefox-on-ubuntu.html

But for any newbie reference I would still recomment visiting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Enabling_complex_text_support_for_Indic_scripts
and looking under the GNOME and Debian sections for list of that to do. This
site is more complete.

challenging and fun loving experience.

We are seeking people who either have experience developing Rails
Applications or dying to work with Rails. If you don't have experience we

[ilugd] [Commercial] Looking for Part-time PHP Developer

2007-10-03 Thread Chris Cooper
Hello LUGgers!

I got to know about this LUG from one of the members (Gami) who 
mentioned there are some good developers on this list.

I have a bunch of overdue projects sitting in my yard that I'm trying to 
revive and complete. I'm looking to team up with a PHP developer who is 
willing to work part-time/evenings (10-15 hours a week) to help complete 
some of these projects.

The projects are interesting, and based on open-source platforms and 
code-bases (and there is room for compensation for the time and effort 
expended).

If you can dabble with some graphics and site design, it would be an 
added advantage - however, the most critical requirement is to have a 
positive, get-it-done attitude and lots of creativity.

If you've got ideas and would like to experiment with or use these 
projects as learning ground for some of the funky stuff, you're more 
than welcome to do so.

Contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to discuss this further. Please DO 
NOT respond to the mailing list.

Regards,
Chris

Cool!

Puneet, is it possible for you to post a summary of the steps required
for any newbees reference.
In addition to help boost firefox over ie, it will also help all the
good people who were not able to use firefox for lack of out of the box
Indic support, to switch back to their favorite browser. :)

It was the environment vairable problem. I had set the environment variable
MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 using what was mentioned in wikipedia and had then
restarted the machine.
i.e. i did some thing like this
$>MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 firefox

so after restarting this env variable must have gone away.
Thanks all you guys for your support, I did set the MOZ_DISBALE_PANGO=0 also
before retrrying just to be sure.

I'll repeat. It is enabled by default in Ubuntu. You may need to set
MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 depending on your locale etc.

the font seems Raghindi (or Janahindi?)
if say you move the font out of /usr/share/fonts (& ~/.fonts ) , run fc-cache -f
& ensure that Lohit-Hindi or Gargi are present.

Also please put Konq screenshot just for reference to see which font

here is what I get on the latest firefox on Mandriva2007 - in Indian,

Aren't we being a little hard on them? If I were to interpret what
firefox developers might be saying (completely my words), it would go
something like this:

We have checked the code into firefox to enable "complex text layout"
necessary for some non latin scripts including many from indic, arabic,
south east asian, and arabic languages. For anyone distributing firefox
for these languages, please compile with the options required to enable
CTL. We are not enabling it by default for everyone, because the
performance penalty for the rest of the users does not justify the gains
as most indic (or other such language) speakers browse the web in
english. (More so, they generate most of their web content in english,
and use english language skills as a differentiator to show/feel that
they are educated and high class.)

After that it is the responsibility of the indian foss community and
other government agencies to make sure that ctl builds are available.
For instance ubuntu and many other distributions' firefox build is by
default ctl enabled, and all one needs to do is set the environment
variable.

I have personally never had problems with firefox w.r.t. indic. So, feel
a little bad if the good folks at firefox get bad PR due to
misunderstanding.

If someone feels that it is not enough, they should find the firefox /
ubuntu / redhat /  forums and make a case as
they deem appropriate. I'd be happy to contribute to any discussion
regarding enabling ctl by default in firefox.


Cheers,
Ajay

wonderful - so after 3 years or so, firefox guys are uninterested in  
the second largest country in the world. How come Konqueror manages it?

Re: [ilugd] Hindi Rendering Problem

2007-10-03 Thread Ajay Kumar
Puneet,

If the matra in 'कि' renders after the 'क', you will need a CTL enabled
build of firefox.

To check if you have the right build...

Type "about:buildconfig" without the quotes in firefox's address box.
You will see something like the following, and would need to check for
the --enable-pango flag.




Configure arguments

--host=i486-linux-gnu --build=i486-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr
'--mandir=${prefix}/share/man' '--infodir=${prefix}/share/info'
--enable-default-toolkit=gtk2
--with-default-mozilla-five-home=/usr/lib/firefox /_*--enable-pango
*_/--with-user-appdir=.mozilla --with-system-png=/usr
--with-system-jpeg=/usr --disable-mailnews --disable-composer
--disable-ldap --enable-postscript --disable-installer --disable-xprint
--enable-crypto --disable-strip --disable-strip-libs --enable-canvas
--enable-svg --enable-svg-renderer=cairo --enable-system-cairo
--enable-mathml --disable-tests --disable-gtktest --disable-debug
--enable-xft '--enable-optimize=-pipe\ -w\ -O2\ -g\
-fno-strict-aliasing' --with-system-zlib=/usr --without-system-nspr
--enable-xinerama --enable-extensions=default --disable-pedantic
--disable-long-long-warning --enable-single-profile
--disable-profilesharing --enable-gnomevfs --enable-application=browser
--disable-installer --disable-updater --enable-chrome-format=flat
--disable-elf-dynstr-gc --enable-system-myspell --enable-libthai
--with-distribution-id=com.ubuntu --enable-official-branding




Also ensure that you have Pango installed and a mozilla specific
environment variable (MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1) set. Just google for it if you
still can not get it to work.

Cheers,
Ajay

Firefox renders the same link properly when Im using it in office. The setup
there is WIndows XP, Firefox 2.0.0.7

So I believe the problem has something to do with my Ubuntu System.

Sorry. Saw this on Windows XP in Firefox in Office so not your mail client
or browser's problem. Please ignore.

above is not what I wrote. I mean this is rendered differently, and doesnt
highlight the problem.

Can you take a quick look at the following:
