meera,rachana,raghu,and some others ,
i had created an web page in malayalam just to see if these fonts come out
good. but unfortunately they dint work out.some of the letters are missing
and are replaced by R with a a circle enclosing it.i think this may be duen
to incompatible fonts..can u suggest any other font to use..and also how to
install swanalekha softwre correctly in ubuntu ..i tried it once but was
unsuccessfull
