[smc-devel] RE: Malyalam fonts.

[Ranjith P Antony]

Baiju,

Sorry... I got it worked with www.keralakaumudi.com. But other newspapers
like deepika and manoramaonline is not working. Infact other magazines which
is part of kaumudi like vellinakshatram also is not working.

Any idea. ?

Baiju,

It didn't worked. I installed a mozilla 1.3.1 the latest stable release.
Then i followed your instructions. Still it didn't worked. I am using
redhat 8.0, will that be a problem ?

Please help. Do you want more configuration files. ?

Hi Ranjith,
           I am sorry for a late reply.
Now mozill 1.3 and upward versions support
Malayalam. You only required to copy font files 
to $HOME/.fonts/ directory(if you want a system wide installation please
copy fonts to /usr/share/fonts/).
Free replacements of Malayalam fonts (newspaper) is
available at http://www.keralaindustry.org/malayalam

Regards,
Baiju M
