| I cannot see Indian language characters in my web browser. |
You have to setup your web browser in order for you to see Indian language characters
You can choose from the many available web browsers. Currently Konqueror, Mozilla and Firefox
are known to render Indian languages properly.
Konqueror
Konqueror renders Indian languages properly if it uses Qt version 3.2 or above.
Typically you have the required Konqueror if you are running KDE 3.2 or above.
Mozilla
Mozilla browser that is readily avaiable on most distributions ''does not'' properly render
Indian languages text. You need to get an
Indic enabled build
of Mozilla 1.7 from the
contributed builds.
On Fedora Core 3, you do not need to download the special build because Mozilla already has the capability to render Indian language text.
But it has to be enabled explictly while running Mozilla. To start Mozilla use the following command on the shell:
$ MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 mozilla
|
Firefox
Firefox build that is readily available on most distributions ''does not'' properly render
Indian languages text. You need to get an
Indic enabled build
of Firefox 1.0.
On Fedora Core 3, you do not need to download the special build because Mozilla already has the capability to render Indian language text.
But it has to be enabled explictly while running Mozilla. To start Mozilla use the following command on the shell:
$ MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 firefox
