[ubuntu-in] Loaded Ubuntu 7.10 in my desktop

[74yrs old]

Whether Telugu and kannada display correctly in the latest version? Is there
phonetic keyboard layout for Telugu and Kannada - similar to Baraha type in
Windows?  Because Ubuntu 7.04 does not display character map correctly and
there is no phonetic keyboard for Kannada just like baraha type for windows
and as such I am not happy.
