To work in Indian Language (Devanagari)

[VS Shenoi]

Sir/Madam,

I am using GNU Emacs 20.3.1, under Red Hat Linux 6.0, Kernel 2.2.5-15.  I
want to use emacs under the Indian Language Environment. I installed the
"intlfonts" for Asian support and made the following settings on the MULE
menu

        Set Language Environment -> Indian -> Devanagari
        Set Font/Font Set -> Misc -> Default
        Select Input Method -> devanagari-itrans
        Set Coding System -> devanagari-unix

Now I could see the Devanagari characters. But as I go on typing, it
displays individual chars and when I press <Return> the emacs sort of
hangs and I had to press C-g several times to get it back running; when
it showed modified glyphs.
But this mechanism is not uniform. I couldnt find any write up (on web)
regarding the use of Devanagari. I had gone through the MULE write up, but
it did'nt have anything specific on Indian Language.

I will be extremely thankful if anybody can enlighten me in this regard


With advance thanks
Shenoi
