We have all Windows applications in English. All process we do in our computer is completly based on English language. By installing malayalam font software, we can read malayalam websites, malayalam word files (stories) and malayalam pdf files.
Instead of download malayalam font and copy pasting it to Fonts folder, malayalam font software helps to install font in our computer just by clicking a button.
When we install this software, malayalam language will automatically get added to our computers language.
So when we open a website designed in malayalam font, it can be read easily. Example Orkut in malayalam.
But the font for different sites will be different. The fonts will be available to download in that site itself. There will be a download option in every mallu malayalam website to download font.
When we download malayalam stories to our computer, we cannot read it first. Then after we install required font software we can read word files.
But for pdf files there is no need of regional fonts. Pdf formats are similar to image files.
Thank You.
