Hi,

One of my friends is looking for a way of using Indic comments in his
code. I suggested emacs as I have been using it successfully in many
Indian languages. But Indic text is not displayed in windows version
of emacs.

I downloaded windows version of emacs from
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/ and ran it on GNU/Linux
using wine. It is showing question marks when entering Indic text,
selecting default font does not make any difference. I tested notepad
with wine and it displays Indic text correctly.

It would be good to have Indic support on windows as well.

Thanks
Praveen

Emacs has this support already.

My guess is that wine does the right thing with simple text output from applications like Notepad, but does not fully emulate calls to the underlying uniscribe library, which multilingual programs like Emacs use directly.
