Well this week I had a look at Firefox and kannada issue. The interesting thing is I could see the kannada fonts flawlessly in firefox/feisty combination after following through the steps at http://sampada.net/fonthelp. Only thing I did extra is pull fonts from Optional step from http://dev.sampada.net/wiki/Kannada-on-Ubuntu-Edgy and put it in $HOME/.fonts, then did below steps:
$ cd $HOME/.fonts
$ touch *
$ fc-cache -fv
Restarted the FF, viola! I am able to see the kannada sites pretty well.
Now, coming to Ruby, a new language... Really nice. Has lot of potential as far as my day today scripting. Watir a test automation framework for UI. Hope it picks up the speed, and gives a best OpenSource alternative. Right now it supports only IE, I was expecting a support for Firefox or any OpenSource browser.
Put in your thoughts on this change...
