My main motivation was having a terminal that can display Malayalam characters properly. This is important for file names in Malayalam (I normally give Malayalam names to folders in nautilus, but it causes rendering problems when using gnome-terminal) and outputs from translated applications (including passwd and su). We keep getting queries about Malayalam rendering in terminal in our language community list (smc.org.in). I have been reporting many rendering bugs and started using emacs full time. Btw thanks to everyone worked on getting complex rendering support to emacs, especially to Kenichi Handa, who is very helpful and responsive to bug reports. So I think it would be a great opportunity to bring lot more people into emacs by inviting them with a terminal that can render any language that needs complex rendering. I request adding a menu entry in 'system tools' for 'emacs terminal' (emacs --eval '(ansi-term "/bin/bash")') in addition to the default emacs menu entry. This would also help me to convince GNU/Linux distributions to ship emacs in default installations, at least for languages requiring complex rendering support. Thanks Praveen --=20 =E0=B4=AA=E0=B5=8D=E0=B4=B0=E0=B4=B5=E0=B5=80=E0=B4=A3=E0=B5=8D=E2=80=8D = =E0=B4=85=E0=B4=B0=E0=B4=BF=E0=B4=AE=E0=B5=8D=E0=B4=AA=E0=B5=8D=E0=B4=B0=E0= =B4=A4=E0=B5=8D=E0=B4=A4=E0=B5=8A=E0=B4=9F=E0=B4=BF=E0=B4=AF=E0=B4=BF=E0=B4= =B2=E0=B5=8D=E2=80=8D I know my rights; I want my phone call!
