Thanks, although it did not help. I found that `freetype2 is already the newest version', but that of the `xfree.*' packages, I needed to install: t1-xfree86-nonfree ttf-xfree86-nonfree xserver-xfree86-dbg which I did. Unfortunately, even after installing the `xfree.*' packages, Emacs 21 still fails to display Hindi and Tamil in the HELLO file, although an instance of Emacs 20 displays Hindi. (I tested the two versions of Emacs in a new X session after running the xset commands.) More suggestions? -- Robert J.
