i am sorry i cant help you much there being a non techie myself!
what i do remmeber is when we were having problem with that rendering ppl
were advising us to change the environment  pango =0 or pango =1 whatever it
was. there is no problem in feisty and so i have forgotten.

Could you first describe what currently is wrong? Maybe you can send a

attached. compare it with the help2 file in the link you gave.

Do you know how I have to change the pango settings?


sorry, no you can ask the person who posted that bug.
i am sending a cc to him.

But you're probably right, I hope it's reason a).

oh tamil is displayed in the terminal like how it is displayed in the
screenshots now.
though the pango setting solves the text display problem in other
applications it does not do so in terminal
