This isn't really the list for GTK questions. <http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list> is probably the place. Search the list archives before posting there. It may be that their list search is as broken as Fedora List's; in that case try MARC or Google: <http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gtk-app-devel&r=1&w=2> Google: site:mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-app-devel-list hindi Nevertheless, though I'm new to GTK programming (through Python), I think that what you need to do is 1) use Unicode UTF-8, 2) after setting an appropriate Locale (see man locale and locale -a). Just setting the locale to zh_CN.utf8 put my own program and gnome-calculator mostly into Chinese. I did this by setting LANG in the shell: $ LANG=zh_CN.utf8 gnome-calculator Unicode has all the Hindi numerals and with the proper locale (hi_IN.utf8?) I expect that most C library routines that accept or print numeric strings will handle them. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
