Dear Mr. Nagarjuna,

Thank you for your wonderful work and happy to see telugu text along with other languages in the browser.

Is it possible for you to bring out a stand alone editor under linux like telugu lipi for windows so that it will be easy to type in any editor and convert it to various languages.

I know it amounts to a lot of work and you may have your own commitments.

I also see other addons to mozilla but it would be nice to have stand alone editor.

Have you tried the free software OpenOffice on Microsoft Windows?
Not really just an editor, but a complete word processor. I am
not 100% sure, but think that it supports Telugu on that
platform. Definitely does on Linux.

Also, I am not sure of what you mean by conversion to various
languages. Padma does not do that, but just code conversion. If
you need a stand-alone code converter, I am not sure if anyone
has built something like this on top of Padma, but this would be
wonderful.

For various reasons, mostly to do with simplicity, we have built
a code converter around the m17n library, instead of around
Padma. This is also free software, and currently is in beta
testing with Hindi, and Oriya. If you wish to help out with
Telugu, we would apreciate it. Speakers of other languages are
also invited to help out here. Also, we do plan on eventually
importing the Padma font data.

Regards,
Gora

P.S. Nagarjuna, we had talked about this earlier, but never
     followed through. Can you enable Oriya in Padma, so that I
     can add font data for Oriya?

RAVINDRA GARU,

You must be able to use an entire range of Unicode supporting WYSIWYG
editors to type in Telugu or any other language.

The problem lies with inputting Telugu text, I for one use a Telugu/Indic
keyboard (without interference from English letters).
For more detials you may see the group
http://groups.google.com/group/telugublog

Regarding Transliteration from one language to another, you can use
1) http://girgit.chitthajagat.in/
2) http://eemaata.com/indic2indic/index.php  (Based on Padma)
For example you may also  look here <http://soundarya-lahari.blogspot.com/>in
the right pane.

Hello,

I can't thank you enough for the brilliance of your work. This extension is
a milestone towards the eventual adoption of Unicode for display of content
in Indic languages without dependence on platform and in a standardized
format that enables searching and archiving of news data.

In the present context due to various factors like governmental
policy-making apathy, the misfortune of domination by a single vendor for
common computing needs that disregarded, till recently, the requirement of
software in Indic languages, and the regressive attitude adopted by
content-producers of vernacular languages who relied on dynamic fonts.

The Padma extension already makes it possible to view the Bengali language
news web-sites Anandabazar Patrika and Bartaman Patrika. The pages are
rendered mostly correct except for some errors with rendering of vowels like
"aa"(Bartaman), short "i"(Anandabazar), placement of "e"(Bartaman) and ou,
placement of chandrabindu. I believe these can be rectified in future
versions.

As demonstrated by your excellent coverage of South Indian and other Indic
scripts, I would also like to see such development work is extended to
Bengali as well. In this context I have made a list of the the Bengali
newspapers web-sites with the widest circulation/popularity and the dynamic
fonts they use.

I have attached a zip file that includes the font files in the respective
folders named after the newspapers using them.

The most popular sites and the used dynamic fonts are -

For pouplar West-Bengal Bengali newspapers -
1> DATAN_.ttf - Aajkal
2> Shree550.ttf - Uttar Banga Sambad

1> prothoma.ttf and bngsalpn.ttf - Prothom Alo
2> TONNBM__.ttf - Jaijaidin, The Daily Amadershomoy, The Daily Dinkal,
Manabzamin, London Bangla
3> sutom.ttf - The Daily Ittefaq, The Daily Bhorer Kagoj, The Daily Jugantor
4> Boishkhi.ttf - Daily Naya Diganta and The Daily Amader Sangram

5> samakal_.ttf - Shamokal
6> itxbeng.ttf - Parabaas
7> falgun.ttf - Vinnomot
8> alihsan.ttf - Al-Ihsan
The above papers are most popular in Bangladesh

It is my request that the Bengali fonts for the West-Bengal newspapers and
at least the first four fonts of the most widely read Bangladeshi
news-papers are made available through Padma.

Looking forward to further development of this great piece of work.

Best wishes,

Soham Chatterjee

Raghavan,,
Vikatan, Kumudam and Dinamalar websites use unicode now. So you don't need
padma to view these websites. I use Ubuntu and it works without doing any
additional setup.
Which distribution you are using ? Use the following link to setup unicode
in your distribution,

Soham,
Since Bengali is already supported in Padma, it is easy to add support for
Bengali fonts by doing a mapping of characters.  It would be better if
someone who knows the language does the mapping.  Nagarjuna has already have
posted basic detail about how to add new mappings in padma.
http://mozdev.org/pipermail/padma/2006-February/000049.html

Also checkout existing Bengali fonts for examples

You can email the group if you have any questions.

Thanks
