 Hi, 

Mozilla 1.3 Beta Released : 

http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.3b/ 

Now almost all Malayalam webpages can view, 
by just copying the fonts to $HOME/.fonts 
directory (and enter $fc-cache, once) 

When I tested this with alpha release Manorama 
has shown some problems, I have to select 
Latin-1 encoding from View menu. All other 
websites like 
keralakaumudi.com,deshabhimani.com,weblokam.com 
deepika.com and mangalam.com has rendered properly. Again mathrubhumi's
display is not perfect. 

I have created some free fonts with 
font-encodings of these fonts, it will be 
available from http://www.keralaindustry.org/malayalam 
(wait for few days) 

If you are trying to view deepika.com and mangalam.com cuncurrently by
using their karthika fonts. it will again make problem,  infact these two
are different encodings of same family fonts, so the free fonts  will
incorporate font-encoding! s of both in one font, so that you can view
both sites by using the same font. 

Regards, 
Baiju M
