I began to write an answer to this mail. Its first sentence was
"Currently we do not have Support for Devanagari". Than I continued
to write about fonts and Unicode and Squeak. I added some screenshots
and finally I had a 180 K message - to much for a mailing list.
Please download my aswer from here:
http://www.bgaertner.gmxhome.de/devanagari.html
At this page, you find a short message and a zip-file with my message.
The size of that zip-file is 183 KBytes. After download, you
should unpack it into a new directory and open the page devanagari.html
Do not hesitate to send me a mail when you have problems to access
this internet page - I will send you the file off list.

My message in short:
Support for Devanagari is doable, but not very quickly and only with
some support from a person that can explain the rules of that script.


Greetings, Boris
