My favourite news paper is . As you can see they also have an online edition. This uses marathi fonts and unfortunately I could not configure my RH 9.0 in Bangalore to show the proper fonts. I had tried before but with no luck. There is absolutely no help available on this.. or I was just looking at the
wrong place. The info they have on that page is so wrong that its not funny. Notice the last instruction? It says "REBOOT YOUR MACHINE".. to install a font. Its Bulls!@t with a double capital B!
Here in Hederabad, I have a Fedora Core 2 machine. And now, after some tweaking, I was able to configure it to show the proper fonts and it was amazingly easy.
Heres the step by step guide:
- Download SUBAK0.ttf and SUBAK.ttf
- Create a directory ".fonts" in your home directory. (mkdir ~/.fonts)
- Copy the downloaded files in ~/.fonts
- Rename SUBAK0.ttf to subak0.ttf and SUBAK.ttf to subak.ttf
- Restart your X. (maybe you just need to restart xfs or browser).
Enjoy!
