font issues

This is a page from Mathrubhumi Online. I am also using same font. So I hope this will help who are having font problems

The font used in Mathrubhumi site is Meera Unicode. If you are using Internet Explorer, you will be able to see the site properly, even if this font is not installed in your computer. But, for other browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, installation of Meera font is a compulsion for a proper visibility of the site.

Meera font installation and setup in Windows

Download Meera font and copy it. Then, goto Controlpanel open fonts folder and paste Meera font.

Meera font installation and setup in linux

OPTION – 1


Create a directory for meera font, say, /usr/local/share/fonts/ttfmeera


mkdir /usr/local/share/fonts/ttfmeera
cp meera_04-2.ttf/usr/local/share/fonts/ttfmeera
ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale


cd /usr/local/share/fonts/ttfmeera


head -1 fonts.scale > fonts.dir
tail +2 fonts.scale | tac >> fonts.dir
cp fonts.dir fonts.scale
xset +fp /usr/local/share/fonts/ttfmeera


To verify that the font is installed properly,


xset q
xfontsel

OPTION – 2


If you are using a KDE desktop, start the 'KDE Control Centre'. Under 'System Administration', there is a 'Font Installer' utility. Switch to the Admin mode to install the new font from the font installer.
