devanagari in emacs-22

[harry meyers]

Hi,

I installed gnu intlfonts-1.2.1 to /usr/local/share/emacs/fonts. Then
as indicated in the README file  put the directory to the font path,
updated the font hash table with 'xset fp rehash'. But when I now open
the hello file still no hindi characters are displayed.
Mmh, what am I missing?

Oh, well, I guess this is just going to be one of those lifetimes.

Thanks. Followed the instructions precisely but strange, all languages
work but not the indian ones like hindi, tamil or malayam.

What do you mean don't work ? Did you use the quail method or a
fontset. If you are using a fontset, try holding S-mouse-1 and
explicitly selecting the fontset. You can try it with C-h h to verify.

You can bring any calculator you like to the midterm, as long as it
doesn't dim the lights when you turn it on.

devanagari fonts won't appear. I did the following:
- install both emacs-intlf-fonts and intlfonts
- made both directories known with:

(add-to-list 'bdf-directory-list "/usr/share/emacs/fonts/bdf")
(add-to-list 'bdf-directory-list
"/usr/share/local/emacs/fonts/bdf")

- xset +fp /usr/.... (the first of the above mentioned directories is
not loaded, instead I get this error message: "xset:  bad font path
element (#76), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax"
Don't know why, I installed it per aptitude)
But one of the fonts packages should suffice anyhow.

Now in my hello file I can see some more fonts like Cantonese but no
Indian fonts.

cdacfonts I could not get, because the page is under reconstruction

You can get the CDAC fonts from
http://hcoop.net/~alephnull/cdacfonts.tar.gz if you want.

They are only free as in beer, as pointed out.
