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

[Dinkar Mohana Pai]

Hello Bobinson,

Take it easy, and if it my fault, I apologize.

My first question was regarding an opensource application - Firefox.

My explanation on installation - The fonts mentioned are GPL GNU /  
Public domain.

I agree the OS I mentioned is not opensourse, but I remember the group  
discussing lot of opensource apps problems on a closed source OS.

So I do not think the discussion gone totally offtopic. Afterall we  
were helping people who can't read unicode fonts.

And on a diff topic, we know each other too :)

Best Regards
Din.
