Hindi support should be in Win2000. I have not heard anything about Hindi
support on commercial Unix OS's.
I did a Devanagari renderer in Java to demonstrate the basics. You can pick
up a copy from:
http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/CURender.java
This renderer only works with the bitmap font I put together which is
available from:
http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/devnag.html
The code will not run by itself. It is part of a larger package which is not
ready to be released yet, but the basic algorithm works pretty well.
