<br>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. <br></div>

Probably it's better to discuss this in your language team as it should be<br>consistently translated in all man pages -- and there are many hundreds.<br>I doubt that there exist currently many translations to Tamil.</blockquote>
