| How can I view Malayalam fonts on a Linux system? |
Response - Please follow the following steps to install the fonts on your linux machine
- Download the font from deepika.com
- Find out the fonts directory for true type X-Window font server.
It may be running as either xfs or xfstt.
Some possible names for the font directoriesmay be: usr/share/fonts or usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts - Copy the fonts in the fonts directory.You will need to be Root / Superuser to do this.
Reboot the system. - If you do not have the root permission you may try the following steps:
(This may not work for all versions of linux. You may have to contact the system administrator in that case.)
Create a directory for storing fonts in your login and suppose we call it 'fonts'.
That is the directory path will be $HOME/ fonts - Copy the font in the fonts directory.
- Change current directory to $HOME/fonts.
Run ttmkfdir > fonts.dir
Run ttmkfdir > fonts.scale. - These will create 'fonts.scale' and 'fonts.dir' files in the directory.
Now run the following commands .
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset fp+ $HOME/fonts
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset fp rehash
The fonts are installed. - In the Netscape/Mozilla window go to
edit->preferences-> fonts and define the encoding to be 'user-Defined'.
Then select View->Character Set->User-Defined. Top
