There has been recent discussion of wordprocessors that can produce foreign character sets. Does anyone know of a wordprocessor that can produce the Hindi character set? I am presently using WordPerfect 5.1 but, as far as I know, that cannot produce Hindi.

You know what I do in WordPerfect 5.1 to produce Chinese characters (that mixed with English alphabets)? I draw the Chinese characters with Drhalo (a simple graphics editor, got it free with mouse), convert it into WP-readable graphics format, and bring it in as a graphics box but switch the box to "character" as opposed to default "paragraph". Of course, this is only convenient only if you use the non-English characters in few places in the document, which is what I did. If you want a total Hindi document, good luck. E.
