[Indic-computing-users] Installing TTF fonts to access Marathi sites

[Frederick N. (FN) <fr...@by...>]

Hello

I have slackware 9.0 with the XFree86 4.3.0 I am running Konqueror under
KDE.

I am trying to install ttf fonts to access marathi web-sites. I know that
most of these must use the iso8859-1 char set. But when I run mkfontscale
the fonts.scale lists some of them as unicode fonts (in addition to the
iso8859-1 encoded font)

While rendering, only bitmapped fonts (.bdf) from rasik.com rendered
correctly. For the subak-1 font from esakal.com it shows some english
characters. For xdvng from ITRANS, and for the Marathi font MARmith0 from
marathiworld.com it shows lot of square blocks (and in KWord the fonts are
listed in parantheses like the wingdings font) Does anyone know about how to
solve these problems ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards
-Prasad
