Re: [ilugd] Hindi Rendering Problem
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

Still it doesnt render properly, any clues on what could be causing the
problem?
Thanks
--Puneet
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.
And ya my firefox is compiled with the --enable-pango flag, here is the
