Need help with Tamil language support
Need help with Tamil language support
My mother tongue is Tamil.
I don't know how to input Tamil alphabets.
I need a keyboard driver under phonetic system
with Unicode support.
Some ttf fonts may also be used for this.

This should add tamil input method to leafpad, abiword, gnumeric.
If the font does not support Tamil, try this one.
It is much larger, with hebrew and arab, so with some luck, it supports Tamil, too.

Although I have Slackware,PCLinuxOS,Puppy in my box , I have not tried to use Tamil in linux. I have used a software "kural" from www.kstarsoft.com which is compatible with windows. They use unicode and TSCKural ttf fonts and the input method is selectable bteween Tamil Typewriter layout as well as Phonetic layout.
I don't know Tamil typing and so I use phonetic keyboard.
If I could get to know how to compose in Tamil, I will give Windows its seat in coffin. From linux I can view Tamil sites but composing a mail in Tamil in Thunderbird or writing in a word processor is still eluding me in linux.

There is one Tamil editor for unix "akaraam" . I don't know if it works in all linux distros.phantrongnghia wrote:What Input method of your country ( such as Vietnamese is x-unikey)?

Tamil Fonts
Tamil fonts are definitely unicode. You can try to get the ttf ones off of Leap-Lite word processor for Windows from C-Dac Pune. It has a whole collection of Indian fonts. C-Dac has transliteration software covering over 25 Asian languages so they might even have something on phonetis leyboard.
I believe you can get these for free.

There is a download site for three Tamil .ttf fonts in that thread. It is the page
www.ahobilam.com/tamil
and instructions for employing these fonts are in that thread, if carefully perused.

some Tamil talks here huh?
Accidently I came accross this conversation.
sounds interesting.
I'm hanging around with linux tamil localization for some years. Now I'm with Ubuntu.
Hre are some tips for you guys,
these are the packeges you need to install on puppy to get Tamil work well.
1. pango - Unicode renderer
2. pango enabled browser - pass MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 when launch it
3. Tamil Unicode fonts. can download some FOSS fonts on www.thamizha.com
4. GTK-IM package for tamil
5. scim
6. scim-tables
7. scim tables data
8. scim-m17n
9. m17n libs. m17n-db
10 libotf
If you want interface in Tamil, you have to install some translation packages. or get gettext packages of puppy and translate it.
anyone have interest in remastering and enableing tamil in puppy please contact me via email mmauran@gmail.com
I like to talk with you all.
thanks
