Hi All,

I'm using Openoffice 3.0 on Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 Desktop. I wanted to type With Marathi/Hindi (pneumatic) font in Openoffice 3.x version. Can you suggest me any font with which I can do this? I've also tried to install Keyboard layouts of Marathi / Hindi font but it is still not working.

Probably you should get much more information about the fonts which is used for open office and even in ubuntu linux.

Just go to synaptic package manager and search for ttf-indic-fonts package. Install it. it will give you a basic font support for indian languages font.

Even you can also install opentype font and truetype font which is unicode compatible in GNU/LINUX

Just check the link:

http://vietunicode.sourceforge.net/howto/fontlinux.html

Hope this will help you

I dont know how its handle in Ubuntu

but in fedora if you do

$yum groupinstall marathi-support

it will install all required fonts as well keyboard layout for you, there should be something like this in ubuntu as well

about fonts suggestion i think you can use lohit font /samyak font, they are unicode 5.1 compatible. https://fedorahosted.org/lohit/ http://sarovar.org/projects/samyak/
