How to read Telugu news paper in Mac

I used to read the Eenadu, a telugu daily news paper using my notebook with windows vista installed in the notebook.

One of my friend had a notebook with MAC os ( firefox browser ) installed in it, ad he was having the problem to read the news paper in his system, since the font was not supported in the MAC os

To resolve this problem,

- Download the Fonts from the eenadu's font's help URL
http://www.eenadu.net/fonthelp.htm

The instructions provided in the Eenadu web site ( in the above URL ) are w.r.t to the Windows OS. If we need to do the relavent changes in the MAC os, then we need to install the fonts in the respective directory in the MAC. The following process will help you to do the following:

- Download the fonts ( you will get the font.zip file after downloading )

- unzip or extract the zip file ( you will get the eenadu.ttf file after extracting )

In the MAC os, the fonts are stored in the " /Library/Fonts " directory. So, copy the extracted "eenadu.ttf " file to the "/Library/Fonts" directory,

cp eenadu.ttf /Library/Fonts

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want read the Andhrajyothy news paper, then download the font from the Andhrajyothy's web site. You will get a SHREE900.ttf file after downloading. Copy this file to the "/Library/Fonts" directory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now you should be able to read the news paper with it's font.

If you are not able to read any telugu ( or any other language ) news paper due to font's problem in MAC, you should be able to resolve it using the above procedure



Additional:


- To be consistent with other ttf files in the " /Library/fonts" directory, change the files access permissions and the owner as follows ( these steps are optional)

cd /Library/Fonts
chmod 644 eenadu.ttf

( The following step is not mandatory, but for consistency reason, I had done the following )

sudo chown root eenadu.ttf
( you will be prompted to enter your passwor, after executing the above command)
