नमस्कार भागवत साहेब,
खाली मी मराठीत लिहिण्यासाठी काय करावे ह्याची सूची दिली आहे. ही सूची Windows 2000 users साठी उपयोगी पडेल.
Go to Control Panel -> Regional Options
Select "Indic" under "Language settings for the system"
Click "OK", the system will ask you to restart
Restart the system
Install Baraha 6.0 from
http://www.baraha.comStart Baraha Direct 6.0 and press F12
In the configuration screen select "Marathi" as Indian language and UNICODE as Output format
Whenever you want to type in Marathi press F11 and then type (press F11 again to type in English). Note that you don't need to select any special font for doing this. You can type in Marathi at almost anywhere like in notepad, Start Menu->Run edit box, MS Word etc.
Don't use non-standard browsers that use engines of IE/Netscape in the background (e.g. Deepnet Explorer). I have found out that the edit box under Deepnet Explorer prints ?? characters instead of devnagari characters.
Happy editing...
धन्यवाद,
अमित.
