One step to indic on Firefox, thunderbird

On Fedora Core 3, there's now no need to rebuild firefox to get indic rendered properly. All you have to do is set the flag to enable pango for the one thats already there :)

Just open /usr/bin/firefox on vi, (you need root previleges to do this) and add the following below the lines where MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME and MRE_HOME are defined:

MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1

and search for the line with export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME MRE_HOME

add MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO to it.

It should like:

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME MRE_HOME MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO

The same works for thunderbird as well ;)

those who aren't using FC3, download the builds from here:
