Hi :)
In System - Preferences is there a "Regionalisation" or "localisation" option? There might be a
"keyboards" option in there. The documentation
http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/switch-languages-and-keyboard-layout
suggests that Debian/Ubuntu documentation is close to what you need so it's worth looking around in
that preferences folder for something that looks about right. The trisquel documentation for that
does need to be updated. Perhaps you could manage to update it? Have you done any wiki editing
before?
Regards from
Tom :)

Thank you for your replies.
I followed the messages below from elcico2001 and "webmaster for Kracked
Press Productions" about installing Sanskrit 2003 and changing preferences.
Trisquel 4.5.1 is a little different from what elcico2001
wrote---instead of a "Disposition" tab, there is a "Layouts" tab. I went
to the following places:
System
> Preferences
> Keyboard
> Layouts (tab)
> Add (button)
> By language (tab)
> Language (drop-down list)
> Hindi.
On the GNOME panel at the bottom of my desktop, there are two keyboard
icons, one with an earth ("Keyboard preferences"), and one without
("IBus input method framework").
Right-clicking the icon without an earth gives a menu with radio buttons
for "USA" and "India Hindi Bolnagri".
When I chose "India Hindi Bolnagri", I was able to type Devanaagarii
(Hindi, Sanskrit) in Writer.
@soumalya ray,
@Tom Davies:
Trisquel 4.5.1 has System> Preferences, but no Language.

Same family so it's probably exactly the same

dont know about 'trisquel'.for ubuntu lucid,i went to
system>preference>language
choose bengali(as its my native language).keyboard shortcut appear in the
panel(previous to lucid,you need to add this separately).
anyway when i need to type,i just clicked on it and bengali gets
activated.its system wide-works in firefox,chromiun,LO.you need not to
install any separate language pack for it to work.just the font.since
sanskrit uses devnagari script (also used by hindi),so that should not be a
problem.
but as i've said this is for ubuntu lucid;dont know about trisquel

I'm using LibreOffice 3.4.3 on Linux (Trisquel 4.5.1).
I tried going to the following places:
Trisquel: System> Administration> Language Support
Writer: Tools> Options> Language Settings> Languages
Thank you.

Hello Winston,
You can do the following - works for openoffice on debian 6.0, I suppose
that's the same for libreoffice:
* download sanskrit font sanskrit2003.ttf (
http://www.omkarananda-ashram.**org/Sanskrit/itranslator2003.**htm<http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/itranslator2003.htm>-
http://www.omkarananda-ashram.**org/Sanskrit/sanskrit2003.zip<http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/sanskrit2003.zip>)
* copy sanskrit2003.ttf to /usr/share/fonts/truetype (that should be
the right path, but I'm not sure on your distro)
I just click on the font and a font preview window pops up with an "Install
Button"
I use Ubuntu [Debian], and that is how I install fonts. All my fonts
appear in a .font hidden folder. So if they need to go into the folder you
listed, the need to go into the hidden one as well.
There is a font named Devnagri. I have seen over 200 versions of that
font.
* supposing you have Gnome (if you use KDE let me know), go to
System --> Preferences --> Keyboard and choose the tab
Disposition (that should be the english name)
* click "add", choose "By Nation", select "India", click "add"
again, then close the keyboard preferences window
* if it doesn't appear by itself, add a keyboard indicator on the
Gnome menu panel --> right clic on the panel, click "add to panel"
and select "Keyboard indicator"
* once you have the keyboard indicator on your panel, select indian
layout, then open libreoffice writer
* if the keyboard layout has changed... go back to indian again
* select sanskrit 2003 font
* and finally... write in sanskrit! :)
Namastè! or I'd better write... नमस्ते :)
