I finally could see malayalam. Thanks to all of you who helped me get this working. I did the following in ~/.emacs (if (eq 'x window-system) (let ((fontset (query-fontset (frame-parameter nil 'font)))) (when (not fontset) (setq fontset "fontset-default") (set-default-font fontset)) (set-fontset-font fontset (cons (decode-char 'ucs #x0D00) (decode-char 'ucs #x0D7f)) (cons "misc-malayalam" "iso10646-1")))) Now, my question is, can the whole thing be automated such that when I just add a font to the system, it gets automatically added to the fontset-default ? Thanks once again to everyone. I will now try to compose some malayalam text and see whether there are any problems with the way it renders malayalam. best regards -- Ramakrishnan M (http://www.hackGNU.org/) Use Free Software -- Help stamp out Software Hoarding!
