[scribus] Tamil in scribus

[srikrishnan]

Hi,

As per the screen shot I pasted in my earlier mail. Text appears in Story 
Editor is 100% correct, whereas in the canvas all the separate vowels and 
consonants appears correctly, but in the cases where vowels + consonants 
combined characters are not appeared correctly.

please bear with me if anything makes you misleading from my mails.

Dont hesitate to contact me. I am eager to share my ideas and knowledge with 
you people.

Thanks,
Srikrishnan
