Comment 2 Parag Nemade 2010-03-10 04:23:53 UTC 
Working fine for me. 

Explain what you tried and which m17n-contrib you have installed and which editor you tried?
Comment 3 Ujjwol 2010-03-10 17:54:10 UTC 
I just selected Hindi and Nepali Language during installation and now add keyboard layout from panel.
Comment 4 Parag Nemade 2010-03-11 03:39:40 UTC 
Still I see no bug. Worked fine for me in gedit/kwrite/firefox/openoffice.org applications.
Comment 5 Ujjwol 2010-03-13 02:35:12 UTC 
Hey, does the inscript in fedora matches with this http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/Indic/HindiKeyboardLayouts. ?
Comment 6 Ujjwol 2010-03-13 02:41:57 UTC 
Lack of ज्ञ............ and other upper words there makes it not standard as defined in http://www.tdil.mit.gov.in/keyoverlay.htm
Comment 7 Parag Nemade 2010-03-13 16:06:20 UTC 
There is a lot of problems here. First decide which Fedora version are you using. Bug is reported against rawhide version and initial comment says its 12.
Again not provided which version are you using of m17n-contrib package.

Attach /usr/share/m17n/hi-inscript.mim from your system here. Also, no mention of where are you not able to type those characters(gedit/kwrite/firefox/ openoffice.org applications). Are you using ibus? Are you using Scim? Are you using xkb?

Provide full details.
Comment 8 Ujjwol 2010-03-14 03:34:18 UTC 
Fedora Version: 12

I am not using SCIM and neither ibus, So it must be xkb(I think.It is the one I access from the panel not systray) ?

I was not able to type those characters in gedit and firefox(other application i have not tried) ?

[root@lamichhane ~]# rpm -qa m17n-contrib
m17n-contrib-1.1.10-2.fc12.noarch
Comment 11 Parag Nemade 2010-03-14 04:25:00 UTC 
Now I got clear view of what you have and why you are not able to type.

Problem you stated is valid and its valid since years as we need X server to be changed so that xkb can type complex(conjunct) characters.

Remember xkb currently accepts only standard unicode characters and what you are trying to type is not having unicode hex code in Devanagari chart.

I have already raised this issue at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25025
Comment 12 Parag Nemade 2010-03-15 06:22:53 UTC 
Closing this as reported description is problem in upstream X server code that unable to handle conjuncts.
Comment 13 Ujjwol 2010-03-15 15:14:07 UTC 
Ok then till the bug is fixed in upstream, i will use SCIM which is fine for Inscript Layout. But it would be great if we could see the it fixed by Fedora 13.
