[Indic-computing-users] Tamil?

[Tapan P. <ta...@ya...>]

I need to know few things about Tamil...

1) What is the most common keyboard mapping for Tamil data entry?  Is 
it available for xkb / xmodmap?

2) Do I have to use TSCII fonts, or are there any good unicode ttf/otf 
fonts available for Tamil?  So far I have found Indix and Sooriya.  Are 
there any others?

3) What is the current status of Tamil unicode rendering in Mozilla?  
In Firefox?

Anyone can help me with these questions or point me to further 
resources, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
Tapan
