Default Indian language fonts to be included as default fonts in windo

Well, to get the link, I had to go to Bob Buckland's message.

The "essay" contains a great deal of blather. I gather "orkut" is an
Indian ISP?

You seem to have two points. (1) Transliteration is not necessary.

(2) Windows cannot properly handle Indian scripts.

(1) is a matter of opinion and is correct in some circumstances,
incorrect in others.

(2), as I and others told you more than half a year ago, is simply
incorrect. Every version of Windows since I-don't-know-when has
provided full support for typing in the 11 standard scripts of India
(roman, Nagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Bengali, Oriya, Kannada, Telugu,
Tamil, Malayalam, Urdu), with a dedicated keyboard for each. All of
them have been included in Unicode since Version 1.0 nearly 20 years
ago.

Friends, I am resuming the dialogue after about seven months. Somebody told
me that transliteration is the answer to the problem of Indian language
inclusion as default font. I have studied the suggestion and come with reply.
that reply is in details and so I have put it on my blog. Please visit my
blog to read it. It is a research paper too lengthy for this box. URL of my
blog

and you may reply to it on this site as well as on the comment box. *
