I tried the same on Firefox 1.0.7 at home, on breezy, with firefox from the Ubuntu repository, and am yet to find uniformity or consistency in the Rosetta translations that exist. It seems to depend on the font (usually some ttf font) that was used by the translator. In some fonts, the vowel-qualifiers are always post-placed(wrt to the consonant they qualify) and in some fonts, there is a character for short-r, which when I see it in Firefox/Epiphany shows up as a "Registered" sign (the R with a circle around it). Having spent a few good hours with defoma, a few apps, settings, fonts, and such, I still don't know what looks and is right, and what is not, so for now, I will lay off translating into malayalam. A page to explain how to setup Ubuntu with Malayalam "the right way" would be great. If there are any Malayalis on this group, I would love to ask a few questions, offlist or onlist.
