Talk:OLPC Devanagari Keyboard

Notes for the next update : some of the keys on the right-hand side of the keyboard aren't centered (devanagari chars are left and a bit below optimal), and the upper-right key should have perhaps 90%-reduced chars to fit. 01:44, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

Glyph alignment

Some options re glyph alignment. Please comment.

• 

  Offset, but aligned

• 

  Aligning horizontally, but distorting characters vertically

• 

  Maximum size, but ignoring horizontal and vertical alignments

Regarding the vertical alignment, the top two options represent the correct vertical alignment and the third one represents an incorrect vertical alignment. --Arjs 13:58, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

Not sure why the image captions weren't showing up before. Is vertical alignment more important than glyph size? Is horizontal alignment important? --Walter 14:19, 14 October 2007 (EDT)
