Hindi display of words such as “pra” “gra” in Kate (or other lightweight text editor)

I have the following problem:



Hindi display of words such as “pra” “gra”



which has been answered for Libreoffice, in the question below:



Hindi display of words such as "pra" "gra"



In Libreoffice, one has to tick the Complex Text Layout option, to get the “pra” “gra” ligatures to display correctly.



My question is how to get this to work in other programs, such as Kate (in KDE)?



I am writing documents in Kate in markdown in Hindi & English (Libreoffice doesn't support markdown), can this also work in Kate, or is there another lightweight editor where ligatures are displayed correctly (like in Libreoffice)?

  • So i solved the problem in Libreoffice, but I don't use Libreoffice as my main editor, and although it works in Libreoffice (once the CTL option is used), i still have the same problem in Kate and other programs.
