Hi Arjun,<br><br>I took a quick look at the <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/~arjs/Marathi.zip">http://dev.laptop.org/~arjs/Marathi.zip</a> that<br>you have uploaded and all the fonts except for lohit_hi.ttf (Lohit<br>Hindi) seems to be non Unicode fonts, which are not supported.
<br>Could you test by selecting Lohit Hindi in Write activity and writing<br>some text (ensuring that the corresponding Devanagari keyboard is<br>active?)<br><br>Warm regards,<br>Sayamindu<br><br><br>On Mon, 2007-10-15 at 01:30 +0530, Arjun Sarwal wrote:
