Re: MULE for indian scripts

not as far as i know.

we always welcome volunteers doing work on xemacs -- esp. on 
international support, given its complexity and requirements for people 
with knowledge of specific scripts.

a few comments on method:

it seems to me the proper way to support indian languages on mswindows 
is to fully interface to the built-in windows support, not to redo it 
ourselves from scratch.  obviously this won't work for unix, though. 
 also, it would be preferable to do as much as possible in elisp, and to 
make the necessary c support be more general than just indian languages 
-- you run into the same glyph-shaping issues in arabic, for example. 
 this means you'd have to port the logic, but probably we wouldn't be 
able to use much of the actual c language code without substantial work 
unless it is sufficiently well-designed that it has an abstraction layer 
to handle glyph-shaping, reordering, etc. that is not indian-specific.
