Description Brandon Philips 2008-09-26 01:37:22 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Is there anyway to get terminal applications to render देवनागरी fonts in the same way as gedit? My goal is to be able to write emails in mutt/vim.

Screen shot of the problem:

http://ifup.org/~philips/hello-hindi.png

Notice the space between the consonant cluster स्ते vs स ते.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a terminal
2. Paste in स्ते
3. Now there is a space!


Actual results:
स्ते is rendered as स ते

Expected results:
स्ते rendered as स्ते 

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Note: This is on OpenSuSE 11.0.  If this bug is fixed in the latest GNOME please close it.

Also, vte doesn't have any way of getting a version number.

Thanks,

Brandon

Nah, no plans to fix this currently.  It' not easy.
Comment 3 Brandon Philips 2008-09-26 02:21:35 UTC 
What isn't easy about it?  I wouldn't mind hacking on the bug if I had a bit of direction on what is going on.

Thanks,

Brandon
