1. Which allbrowsers support Malayalam dynamic fonts?





The Manorama Onlinesite is using dynamic fonts and hence, it is not necessary to download thefonts for specific browsers.



Browsers thatsupport Manorama Online site with dynamic fonts are Internet Explorer 5.5 orabove for Windows and Netscape 4.x (Windows, Macintosh, Unix).



Note that InternetExplorer for Macintosh and Netscape 6 and 7 for any operating system do notcurrently support dynamic fonts.



Download font for PC - http://www.manoramaonline.com/mmfont/Manorama.ttf



Download font for Mac - http://www.manoramaonline.com/mmfont/manorama

2. I am not ableto print the Manorama Online site. Why?





Microsoft InternetExplorer 5.5 for Windows does not fully support dynamic fonts for printing.When you try to print or print preview pages using Web fonts from InternetExplorer 5.5 for Windows, you do not get the dynamic font in the print previewor on printout. It appears that Internet Explorer dynamically rebuilds the pageon the fly, stripping out the Web font tags. This prevents the dynamic fontsfrom printing.



To print dynamicfonts in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 for Windows, click the print icon on thetoolbar. Do not choose File > Print.

At the top of the page, click the link "English Edition." I don't know how to change the language of a web page, but after it is in English see if you can convert it to Malayalam somehow. Try downloading Indian fonts from http://cg.scs.carleton.ca/~luc/malayalam.html, it should work.
