 Hi All,
 Could anyone help me on the subject: Telugu (te_IN.UTF-8) language

 Reference: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/telugu.htm [1]
 This page talks about Conjunct Consonants: This is where iam looking
for your guidance.
 Right now iam working on Solaris Nevada .
 Iam able to switch to Telugu input:  Indic->Indicle: Press F5 4
times
 (or) Gimlet->Preferences->Languages/Scripts: Add Telugu language
 I saw some problems in Combining Vowels and Vowel Diacritics.
Diacritics are not correctly combined.
 Also unable to get the input of Conjunct Consonants which are

 Please guide me on the same.

Hi Prasad,
    Indic input methods were added in the S10 timeframe and was 
primarily focused towards CDE applications. (Even
some of the private area mappings in the Saraswati font were used for 
some character combinations). These were not
tested with Gnome applications much (mostly because Pango, the gnome 
layout engine had many bugs in Indic locales
and we never had requirements to look into Indic locale issues)

Pl. file bugs on the issues you find. Someone will look into those.

Regards,
Suresh
