You can take a reference of the various malayalam fonts like lohit, rachana or samyak. In case you need help, you can fire your queries on this list or find me on #indlinux or #fedora-i18n. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Initially I'm interested in the technical limitations around supporting Indic languages including Malayalam in the most common free rendering systems, both on screen (Pango/freetype) and for printing (Firefox, scribus, TeX, OpenOffice.org)</blockquote><div> As of now, except for few bugs, pango, QT or OpenOffice support malayalam rendering. In the process of bug fixing there will be some changes to be complemented with font rules as well. So be updated on them. For now you may start with unicode 5 and OpenType specs for malayalam. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Also, if anyone who has made any Indic fonts with free software is on this list, I hope you'll also get in contact with me :-) -- Regards, Dave _______________________________________________ Lohit-devel-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Lohit-devel-list@redhat.com">Lohit-devel-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/lohit-devel-list">http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/lohit-devel-list </a> </blockquote></div> Regards, Rahul.
