I installed my hindi fonts by going to the control center -> Desktop ->Fonts. It shows me the fonts currently listed and there is an option of installing fonts. Since, I am doing a hard disk remastering..it was easy but the remastered version does not have those fonts though. I sucessfully did dpkg -reconfigure fontconfig.
One another thing that happened with my remastered cd. If i use the cheat code knoppix 2, and then write startx in text mode..no problems occur..but booting knoppix without any cheat code..gives an IPC error...problem and the system crashes.
Any ideas anyone..and thanks tr..u have been a great help. Any time you planning to come to india..i owe you a beer.
