*** NOT REQUIRED SINCE SFOS v2.0.4 INCLUDES HINDI KEYBOARD  NOT MAINTAINED ***

Abki Hindi Keyboard for Sailfish installs Hindi Font and Keyboard layout.  In this version, some characters are not showing on the keyboard correctly.  It displays correctly once typed.  Some kind of font issue.

It does not create any icons or any other programs that can be launched.

Once installed, Hindi language keyboard will be available to enable under Sailfish input settings.

Go to Settings->System->Text input->Keyboards and select "हिन्दी" from the list.

To switch between various enabled keyboards just press and hold the spacebar.

Compound consonants can be formed by adding virâma sign between consonants (e. g. क +  ्  + त   = क्त). Vowel signs u, e, ai  are not visible, but you can still add them to text by tapping the empty slot.

Thanks for the keyboard. The fonts are displaying in place of blanks now. It would be great if the thickness and boldness of the fonts is reduced so as to match the overall system fonts. Now the hindi fonts are a little bold and thicker. Well thanks for the keyboard.

Does the keyboard look same like the screenshot or does it show all key labels correctly on your phone?

I will look around for a better font.  Let me know if you know of a better Unicode Hindi font (GPL).

It looks like it is in the screenshot. At least the blanks which were there in Facebook posts, Twitter posts have now been replaced by the hindi alphabets. Thanks for the help. Let me also search around for any hindi fonts
