 Tikkana fonts cannot be directly used with a simple keymap say
inscript.
 What you can do is use yudit ( www.yudit.org ), which is a unicode
editor, it allows you to type in Telugu using unicode fonts. For fonts
you can use Pothana2000 font avialable at
http://www.stotralahari.com/font.htm, extract in in windows, & copy
into linux. Or you can use Yudit windows version to type in Telugu

 Initial work is on coining of telugu words for technical terms. I
will be putting up the list. These coined words would be used for
translations. For a start see  i18n/l10n links in
http://www.indlinux.org/bookmarks.html & also go through
http://i18n.kde.org esp the Translation Howto.
