Viewing Unicode Indian text on your browser

 

Windows 2000

    1) Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Regional Options > General [Tab].

    2) In the "Language settings for this system" frame, check the box next to "Indic".

    3) Copy the appropriate files from the Windows 2000 CD when prompted.

    4) If prompted, reboot your computer once the files have been installed.
 

 

 

Windows XP and Server 2003


    1) Go to Start > Control Panel.

    2) If you are in "Category View" select the icon that says "Date, Time, Language and Regional Options" and then select "Regional and Language Options".

    3) If you are in Classic View select the icon that says "Regional and Language Options".

    4) Select the "Languages" tab and make sure you select the option saying "Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages (including Thai)". A confirmation message should now appear - press "OK" on this confirmation message.

    5) Allow the OS to install necessary files from the Windows XP CD and then reboot if prompted.

 

Mac OS X 10.4

You do not need to do anything to enable viewing of Indic text as long as you use Safari. Firefox up to version 2.0.x does not support Indic script rendering because it does not use ATSUI used by Safari. Opera also provides some support, although it isn't perfect.

 

GNOME

You do not need to do anything to enable viewing of Indic text in GNOME 2.8 or later. Older versions may have support for some, but not all Indic scripts. Ensure you have appropriate Unicode fonts for each script you wish to view or edit.

Some web browsers may require you to enable Pango rendering to view Indic text properly.

 

    1) For Epiphany, Pango rendering can be enabled in GConf. Press Alt+F2 to bring up the Run Application dialog, then enter gconf-editor and click Run. The Configuration Editor window will appear. In the left pane, unfold apps → epiphany and click the web section. In the right pane, check the box next to the enable_pango option, then restart Epiphany.

    2) When using Mozilla or Firefox, you can enable Pango rendering by opening xterm and typing MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 Mozilla or MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 Firefox. After this, all future sessions of Mozilla or Firefox will have Indic language support.

 

         a) This will work only on Firefox compiled with --enable-pango. Only the Firefox binaries supplied by Fedora Core 4 and 5, Ubuntu Linux, and Kate OS are compiled with this build option.
 

        b) For Ubuntu 6.06, this support has been turned off due to speed issues. To enable support, you must type MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=0 firefox. Future sessions do not remember this setting, so it must be repeated.
 

        c) For SUSE 10.1 you have to add the "MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1″ to your .profile to make the effect permanent.
                I) Go to your home directory, and then edit the .profile file -it is a hidden file.
                II) Scroll down to the last line of the file and add: export MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1
                III) Save the .profile file. Restart for the effect to take place
 

        d) The easiest way to check whether --enable-pango was used in your copy of Firefox is to type about:buildconfig in the address bar and to look for the string (--enable-pango).

 

KDE

You do not need to do anything to enable viewing of Indic text. Ensure you have appropriate Unicode fonts for each script you wish to view or edit.
