sending modified .png file to seppo directly
the 'order' of the hindi character set has been corrected
i guess the 'logic' of keypresses needs to be now re-thought about

obviously, the available combinations are more known to seppo than anyone else (years and years of grappling with different 'logics' for the alphabets of english and other language by him is something that i haven't been doing)

i suggest that some keypresses for letters of grp1 should be common and the keypresses for group2 should be the 'next' logical combination of keys

within groups, the keypresses for the 1st and 2nd letters should have some common keypresses

similarly the keypresses for the 2nd and 3rd letters should have some other common keypresses

i am yet to see any other script which has this similar 'sound' as the logic on which the character set is not only concieved but also the consonant groups are constructed

so the hindi character set needs to be very carefully thought about .. since it will 'stick' forever (like the horrible qwerty layout) once it is 'fixed' by seppo and approved by the small group here

it is important to do the right thing than to do the 'quick' things
