May be emacs-unicode hackers have something to say on > this. It seems to me, as I've seen from the Table 9-1 of Unicode standards, consonant + halant + ZWJ is used to form the half form of the consonants. Is it common to use these characters in Malayalam? I thought that the glyphs shown in Table 9-1 is only used in language textbooks and not at the common usage. Anyway, I thinkg it is easy to support them if the appropriate corresponding glyphs are already prepared in indian-glyph. I think it is just add the new entries for them in mlm-char-glyph variable, isn't it? -- --------------------------------------- KAWABATA, Taichi (kawabata@m17n.org) ---------------------------------------
