Dear Manilal,<br><br>I am using Ubuntu. from the taskbar i selected the keyboard and chose malayalam. In malayalam there were 4 options (all belongs to SCIM), Inscript, Swanalekha, Ml-Inscript and Ml-Itrans. Swanalekha and ML-Itrans are phonetic (type in english and get translated into malayalam) other two inscript options have its own key lay-out which is universal. I tried all four options , in open office word processor<br>
<br>The results<br>1. When tried to read Malayalam blogs, emails, the malayalam letters found disjointed.<br>2. Interestingly, when I composed my previous email in malayalam things worked and when I opened your reply mail, I found them disjointed. But again in compose mode the same text reappeared perfect.<br>
3.In Inscript keyboard lay out a <i>chillaksharam</i> is produced with 3 key depressions. the first key is for corresponding letter, the second key for <i>chandrakkala</i> and the third key is <i>Nakthram</i> key which converts the letter into <i>chillaksharam</i> For example, <br>
n + d + ] should produce ല + ് + ] = ല്<br>j + d + ] should produce ല + ് + ] = ര്<br><br>When I tried it in open office, it didnt work. and it didnt produced ക്ക when i typed k + d + k. it gave ക ക ് only.<br>
<br>So I think there is some problem with my font files. how can it be corrected? <br><br>peace<br>shibu<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/2/18 Manilal K M <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:libregeek@gmail.com">libregeek@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

Dear friends,<br>
Can somebody help me in solving the problem of typing malayalam?<br>
Except in Gmail compose window, I got strange results while typing<br>
malayalam. the result was same with inscript and swnalekha.<br>
ചില്ലക്ഷരങ്ങളും കൂട്ടക്ഷരങ്ങളും ടൈപ്പ് ചെയ്യാനാവുന്നില്ല. ന്, ല്, ള്,<br>
ര്, വ്വ, റ്റ, ക്ക, ച്ച .... തുടങ്ങിയവയൊക്കെയും ചിതറിനില്‍ക്കുന്നതായി<br>
കാണുന്നു. ഓപ്പണ്‍ ഓഫീസിലും, ജിംപിലും ഇതു തന്നെ അവസ്ഥ. ജി-മെയിലിലെ<br>
ഫോണ്ട് വലിയ കുഴപ്പമില്ല. നല്ല ഭംഗിയുണ്ട് എന്നാലും ചില അക്ഷരങ്ങള്<br>
ചേരുന്നില്ല. ഇതില് നിന്ന് കോപ്പി ചെയ്ത് വേഡ് പ്രോസസ്സറിലോ ജിംപിലോ<br>
കൊണ്ടു പോകാനും കഴിയുന്നില്ല. ആരെങ്കിലും സഹായിക്കുമോ?<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>Please provide more information so that we may be able to help you.<br>
1. Which distro(name & version) are you using ?<br>
2. How did you tried to type Malayalam - SCIM, Xkeyboard, ibus ,...?<br>
<br>
