[smc-discuss] Re: Install Malayalam Fonts in Openoffice 2.4

[Jayaram R]

Dear Sri. Manilal,

Thank you. I am not an experienced Linux user to suggest anything new, but
am a fan of course.

As  I did not see any help in using key combinations for complex characters
like 'pra', 'sree', 'stree', etc., I could write these only  as new lipi
forms in openoffice2.4. But here in ithis page, some are seen to work
properly. eg.  'പ്ര', 'ശ്രീ', 'സ്ട്രീ' .   I do not find the proper
combination keys in swanalekha  for such complex Malayalam characters   in
openoffice.  Is there any help file or manual  for this?

Will you kindly indicate the blog to share my ideas (in case if any arises)
?

Sorry for troubling you  again.

Thanks.

Jayaram.
