[m17n-lib:00384] Re: [Fwd: Errors in ta-tamil99.mim of m17n-contrib]



Jens

I had sent that email from Thunderbird on Ubunutu (locale en_US.utf8)
from home PC and the statements with spurious characters were copied
from the concerned mim file from m17n-contrib at download site. (not
cvs)

Little earlier at office when looking at my gmail conversations in
Firefox on a WinXP I saw like what you have seen.

Then now from this Firefox onSuSe 9.3 (locale en_US.utf8) on another
laptop the mails on same conversation look how it is supposed to be,
including those pasted from mine to yours revealing those characters.
Please see the scrnshots:

I do not understand why this difference between different platforms.

I think when RR keystroke gets corrected then all those modified from RR should look correct. Don't know about the Ra combination Takahashi-san mentions - will check on it after 6-7 hours from now.

Felix, can you compare with the current file in upstream cvs:

http://cvs.m17n.org/viewcvs/m17n/m17n-contrib/im-indic/ta-tamil99.mim?rev=1.2

just to be sure there are no differences?  (For me quite a number of
glyphs in the file appear as missing.)
