I met with Klaus and that was a problem he was facing with Hindi. I may be helping him with Hindi version of Knoppix/Adriane Knoppix. [...] What do you mean by a text console? A terminal inside X, or a Linux console? The former is possible, and while gnome-terminal, etc., handle base characters, I do not think that any terminal handles conjuncts properly. The easiest way to do this would be to use a non-Unicode, 8-bit font, with a custom keymap. The latter would need changes to the console text-handling code, probably along similar lines of using a 8-bit font with a custom keymap. I am not sure, but think that text handling in the Linux console is handled by the kernel itself, so having changes accepted might not be easy. As Gaurav notes, Abhishek has worked on this. The Debian folk have also managed to get Hindi support in their installer. I am not sure how this is done, but I think that they run Pango, or a similar library on top.

I am not sure, but think that text handling in the Linux console is handled by the kernel itself, so having changes accepted might not be easy. This was attempted by an IIT Chennai (IIRC) team several years back, and their proposals / patches were shot down by Linus Torvalds, on grounds that the patches do not belong within the Kernel.
