Thanks Rajiv. That was one big hindrance I was finding with BolNagri. 
Simple things sometimes look so complicated. :)

use right alt+ shift+e for ऐ and right alt+ shift+o for औ, i.e. you
have to switch to level 3 (R alt+ is the default for doing so, you can

preferenceslayoutsoptions)

Re: [ubuntu-in] need desktop search tool

2011-06-23 Thread Vividh Aditya

Thanks for informing about Recoll.
Till now I had been using deskbar-applet. It does a little bit of 
calculations as well and can be used to launch programs too.

Never searched for Indic fonts though with it. Will try Recoll.

While, we are on the topic of Indic Fonts, is there any  text editor 
similar to Takhti (for Windows), where I can write in Hindi with Unicode 
fonts like Mangal and Raghu. I miss the ease of Takhti in Ubuntu. While 
there is obviously Google Transliteration, but needed an offline app.

Surender

Re: [ubuntu-in] Typing in Indian Languages

2011-06-23 Thread Vividh Aditya
I installed some keyboard layouts and would prefer India Hindi Bolnagri, 
which is very similar to Takhti. Found it easy. Yet I cannot get to 
write for example Ainak/aidee or Aurat/aukhlee The keyboard layout 
shows E and O, assigned, but only allow to put the maatra rather than 
the akshar itself.

Any help would be useful.

Regards,
Surender

Re: [ubuntu-in] alternative to open office? (Sriranga(78yrsold))

I had it on Maverick and have it on Natty as well. There's a problem 
with it with 64-bit. It installs with 32-bit only.

Hi,
Thanks for pointing out Lotus Symphony. Its license, however, is
proprietary and that is enough to favour LibreOffice :)

Thanks.

Hi all,
Another alternative to OpenOffice is IBM Lotus Symphony which
is based on OpenOffice, but much better in aesthetics than
Libre or OpenOffice. Just try it to believe it.
