[ILUG-Cochin.org] Malayalam in Firefox on a mac

[Dinkar Mohana Pai]

Hello Anoop

Download the Anjlaioldlipi font (the ttf file) from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/varamozhi/files/1%20AnjaliOldLipi/0.730/

Mac OS X > 10.3 - double click on the ttf file, it will have an 'install font' button at bottom right side. After install restart Safari, it should work.

Mac OS X < 10.3 - copy the ttf files to Library/Fonts (for a specific user only - users/username/Library/Fonts.

Now it will work in Safari.

Meantime, downloaded Chrome (Dev version) for mac and everything including Malayalam is showing correctly in that too !

Still trying to find a way to read it in FF. Will keep you posted ...

Best Regards
Din.
