Hi

I have been able to setup the Devanagari / hindi packages and even use
them to type.

However there are two unresolved issues

1. In open office - am unable to type full words - after typing one
letter the next letter does not get typed unless a space is inserted .
this is a pain and makes the whole typing business unusable.

Funnily the typing works well in gedit, and even within thunderbird.
So is it a problem with Open Office or with the way the hindi script is
setup. (Does such a problem exist in other languages as well)
This issue was raised earlier also but am not sure it was resolved.

this is text typed in Thunderbird in the Hindi Script *िहन्दी*
this is how it appears in open office *ह ि  न  ् द  ी*

So any suggestions , advice.

2. Am searching for the Unicode Hindi Keyboard Layout

Tried making one myself - but feel that some characters are missing.

Have searched the various links posted earlier but nowhere can i find a
visual layout - i.e the hindi script mapped to a qwerty keyboard. Any
place i can find it ??? *ready made*


Q q  W w  E e  R r  T t  Y y
औ ौ  ऐ  ै  आ ा  ई ी   ऊ ू   भ ब

3. The question - why is the rendering of the half akshar not happening

Hindi gets written as  *िहन्दी* but say when we remove the spaces within
the open office word it appears properly (it does not appear here as it
does in the open office document. But the half akshar does get rendered
properly.

Finally what is the formal acceptability of these not rendered half
akshar's - some of the websites have these but say when using the star
dict English hindi dictionary all he half akshar's are rendered properly.
The following is text copied from star dict here again in open office the
half akshar gets rendered properly but pasting it here it appears with
the half अक्षर symbol

हिन्दी
  "'Hindi' हमारे देश की राजभाषा है."

any suggestions, advice

thanks
