Excellent Pandian! Hats off to you! You did a great work translating the 
windows to linux transition document to tamil! You have succeeded in doing 
something we only have been able talk about. 

Btw, I was using Mozilla Firebird. The support for unicode seems to be broken. 
For example the tamil letter po would appear as
     .-o  __
|  | |   | |
|__| \_o | |


and the letter ti would appear as
   __
  /  |
|    |
|___ |

instead of

| ..
|_\/_
  /

The rendering engine has a serious problem. This is one problem with ISCII and 
unicode, the rendering engine has to be built into every application. TSCII 
uses a glyph based encoding and hence we don't have this problem. But then 
TSCII would have problem when it comes to sorting and searching...

Anyway, please pass this on to the mozilla firebird developer network.
