Tom.
Congratulations!. successfully installed without any problem.
Successfully tested with alice.png(files not attached) then also tested using brh2.png (which is Kannada) - vide attached files.
In this context, png files in 0001-kannada.tar.gz displayed image in Kannada correctly. Only output like book.html does not display in kannada script but in Egnlish script - translation failed due to absence of encoding UT-8 set in the relevant codes.
Awaiting further guidance.
With Warmest Regards,
