Thank you for presentig openZIM, this was essential.

Yes, although this seems to me to be a Windows font issue... but the point
was interesting and at this occasion I discovered a bug in my ZIM build script :)
The discussion show me also the need of an automatic transliteration tool (latin-X)
in Kiwix for search imput fields (Santosh have done one in JS in the web pages
itself for Malayalam alphabet).

Important points for me:
* Meeting "in the real world" few people and pushing our common projects. Hope
to have a few annoucements to do until the end of the year.
* Get feedbacks of users about Kiwix.
* Next release wave in English with WP1 0.701 and 0.8
* New challenges with pushing plan for Wikitrust and starting work with new WP1 assessment&selection tool
* Launching Kiwix port for OLPC
Cheers
