Adhawin Font for Sun Solaris

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Starting today all Tamil texts rendered in Adhawin font at

http://www.SriVaishnava.org can be viewed on a PC or

Sun workstations running Solaris 2.5 versions of Netscape.

 

I have converted the texts for Vaazhi Thirunaamam and

Sri Manavaala Maamuni's works. I will be updating the

works of Sri Pillai Lokcaachaarya this week.

 

The Adhawin font for Win 95 (TTF font) can be downloaded

from: http://venus-qe7.griffin.peachnet.edu/abirami/adhawin.html

 

For Unix BDF fonts, please send me an email and I can send a tar

file with instructions. Depending on the number of requests,

i'll either email the tar file or put on the WEB for download.

 

I have tested the font on Solaris runing Netscape 3, 4.06 and 4.5.

There are few options that need to be set in verions 4*. The font

set for Unix is simple and may not display bold faces very well.

 

thanks

 

Venkatesh Elayavalli
