How did you download the file? Depending on your browser and locale settings, cutting and pasting from the file hi-baraha.mim opened in a browser window might have changed Unicode (UTF-8) characters to ISO-8859-1, which is what it sounds like from your description. Please use wget from a terminal, i.e., in a terminal type wget http://oriya.sarovar.org/download/hi-baraha.mim Alternatively, if you are using Firefox, you can also go to http://oriya.sarovar.org/download , right-click on the link to the file, hi-baraha.mim, and choose "Save Link As...", which will then bring up a file-saving dialog. There must be an equivalent in other browsers, but I am not sure where that would be. [...] > How does one log out and log back in? What or where is the command for > that? I just rebooted my computer to restart SCIM. But it sounds like > there is a much easier way. To log in and log back out, choose "System Menu > Quit". This should bring up a dialog with various options, one of which is "Log Out". Clicking on this will end your X session, and bring you to a display manager window which will let you log in again. It is also possible to restart SCIM without even logging out, but given that it depends on how you are starting SCIM, it would take too long to describe the various possibilities.
