[GRASS5] Fwd: Indic support in GRASS GIS with Indix2

[Sajith VK]

Hello,

I too dont know whether GUI team will keep the existing monitor in the "next
generation GUI". I think the road map for next GUI is not yet ready. So for the
time being, your work seems to be highly beneficial.

Can some one working on the GUI give their comments?
