We have used fonts for content in Hindi as well as in Tamil on our site. We plan to include contents in other languages as well. We have also used dynamic fonts, fonts that automatically download and install. This is supported only in Netscape 4 and above (but not Netscape 6.x) and on Internet Explorer 4 and above.

Currently, you may download these fonts in the TrueType format, which is normally used on Windows operating systems. You may choose to download the fonts below. If you would like to know how to install them, you may refer to the help pages at Microsoft. (the link at Microsoft is for Windows 95 but the procedure is more or less the same on other Windows versions as well)

TLWHM0NT.TTF: TLW-TTHemalatha font for Telugu
SHREE906.TTF: Shree Tel. font for Telugu,
tmvl0ntt.ttf: TM Valluvar font for Tamil, and
susha.ttf: Shusha font for Hindi

1. The above fonts will only work on Windows systems. It is recommended to use WindowsNT and later.These fonts may or may not work on old versions of Windows such as Windows 98.
