How To Read & Write in UnicodeTamil 
 
Introduction

Installing and using Unicode font is just like any other font.
In Win2000 or WinXp, there won't be any problem as they have Unicode support.

WinXP is shipped with a Tamil Unicode font "Latha".

As we are familiar with Anjal type key layout, you can use eKalappai to write Unicode.
Now eKalappai is equipped with Unicode driver.

If you use Murasu, you can select any TSCu...font to write Unicode.

Win98 is not Unicode enabled. But you can read websites or web mails (like yahoo groups).
Only prerequisite is: You should have IE Version 5 or above.

When you find any website or web mail in Unicode, simply change encoding by selecting
View >> Encoding >> Unicode (UTF-8) or right click and select Encoding >>Unicode (UTF-8).

Linux has Unicode support. Contact tamilinix@yahoogroups.com group for more info.

To read mails in Outlook express follow this:

To set Unicode font for reading:

Tools >> Options >> Read >> Fonts.
Select "Unicode" from 'font setting' list.
Select any Unicode Fonts for proportional font and fixed font from font list.
Make sure Unicode selection is set to UTF-8.

Same way, set font for 'compose'. Here also, if you receive any Unicode mail,
you have to change encoding to Unicode.

You can download Unicode fonts from HERE
