An example is illustrated below: http://shakthimaan.com/dump/emacs-english-tamil.png I see that the Tamil font size is very small when compared to the English text. I use the following in my emacs init scripts: (defun fontify-frame (frame) (set-frame-parameter frame 'font "DejaVu Sans Mono")) Is there a way to get both the language font texts to be of the same size, or, is there a way to explicitly set the font size for the Tamil text? I wonder how it looks for other non-English text inside Emacs. Appreciate any inputs in this regard, Thanks! SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com
