Re: texteditors that can process and save in different encodings

नमस्ते !

namaste !

I have worked mostly on GNU/Linux and Indian languages. I found Openoffice
to be the best editor on Desktops/laptops for complex scripts which works
on GNU/Linux as well as Windows. All that one has to have is the Opentype
Font corresponding to the script of the language and an input scheme (
keyboard) for the script enabled at Operating system level.

I have also used a very simple freely downloadable editor yudit in which
you can write simple text without formatting.
This text can then be copied / pasted in openoffice or any other
program/application like gmail/chat etc.

For any support, you can send me an e-mail on irani.alka_at_gmail.com
