So the support is on X enabled emacs. So running emacs in gnome-terminal won't give malayalam rendering. But running M-x shell or M-x eshell (M-x => Alt-x) inside emacs can give you a malayalam enabled shell. You probably have to compile the CVS especially with libotf and libm17n-flt enabled. It is emacs' general rendering that is enhanced with these improvements, So it works for every other modes on emacs too.. be it gnus, erc..anything.. Also it seems rendering of other indic scripts also have enhanced with the m17n improvement. http://suruma.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2008/10/15/malayalam-in-emacs.html That have the details. iirc ./configure options has some corrections there it seems... -- Cheers, Rajeesh http://rajeeshknambiar.wordpress.com -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
