hi folks,

        Forgive me for sending back to back emails, but this is just 
another important announcement to make...
The http://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kannada_Support page has been 
updated with the recent changes for Mozilla/Firefox on Fedora Core 3 and 
much more. We've added most of the needed information to the document, 
and I would request all the community members to read it, (and if 
possible) review it,  and fill out (if any), the missing information on it.

As most of you might already know, on Fedora Core 3, you don't need to 
go for a seperate pango enabled firefox build, but can just run firefox 
with 

MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 firefox 
(same with thunderbird)
to get indic rendered properly. 
More on that here:

those who aren't using FC3, download the builds from here:
Mozilla: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7/contrib/mozilla-1.7-i686-pc-linux-gnu-gtk2-xft-pango.tar.gz
Firefox: http://bunny.medhas.org/download/firefox-1.0.en-US.linux-pango_patch-xft-gtk2-i686.tar.gz
