    ஆம்.

    நீச்சயமாக. நம்முள் உள்ள பணி மிகப் பெரியதாய் தோற்றமளிக்கிறது

    தற்சமயம் இதனை ஒரு ஒருங்கிணைக்கப் பட்ட முறையில் கொண்டு செல்வது குறித்து யோசிக்கின்றோம்.

    வாரம்தோரும் 50 சொற்களை தமிழாக்கி அனுப்ப முடியுமா? அச்சொற்களை மடல் மூலம் தங்களுக்கு அனுப்பிவைக்கிறேன்.



    நாம் நமது தமிழாக்கம் குறித்த தற்காலிக நிலவரங்களை நமது Irc யில் வாரந்தோரும் பகிர்ந்துக் கொள்ளலாம்.

    சனிக் கிழமை தோதாக இருக்குமா?

    இந்திய நேரம் மாலைப் பொழுது? திவா தாங்களும் சில நேரங்களை பரிந்துரைங்களேன்?

    நன்றி.

    Ok. Thats sound good. You can send me words by email, I will try to translate into practical tamil that we are using in day-to-day life. Yes we can talk on saturdays, but I have some works this weekend. We will talk on from next weekends and whenever we are free.

    Re: How to read tamil newspapers and magazines

    Hi, Now I am able to read tamil magazines and newspaper in ubuntu after installing some fonts.
    I downloaded fonts from http://shyamk.blogspot.com/2006/12/i...-in-linux.html and from particular tamil websites like www.vikatan.com, www.thatstamil.com.
    Then i copied those fonts into location 'fonts:///'. After copying i didnt see new fonts there, but i could see my fonts /home/<username>/.fonts (in nautilus).

    In next step I rebuilt the font cache in terminal using the code 'sudo fc-cache -f -v'.

    Now i am able to read tamil websites. Opera browser is working good than firefox in viewing tamil fonts.

    Hope this will help some people to view tamil websites

    of course that is howto install fonts.
    this is a good reference for people with similar problems.

    there are two aspects to seeing the tamil sites.
    one is font.
    second is the rendering which is faulty in some systems.
    that is where you need the other fixes.

    read the howto pages before posting a question.also look at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs to see it is not a bug before getting frustrated.
