Fonts

• The standard font of newKOLAM for texts without diacritical marks is "Times New Roman".
• Texts that contain letters with diacritial marks are entirely set in Unicode encoding.
  • We recommend to download and install the "Times Ind Uni" package ("tim-iu.zip") from the FTP-site of John Smith's homepage. Any other Unicode-font containing the Indian diacritic marks can be used instead (e.g."URW Palladio UNI" which is no more available on the internet and will soon be replaced by "URW Palladio HOT". - Information on this and other fonts by Ulrich Stiehl can be got in the "Sanskritweb" webpage.)
• Tamil text will soon be set in Unicode. Until then, we go on using TAM encoding.
  • We use TAM-Maduram of "Kamban" software. The font is available on the Kamban "Downloads" page. Please, make sure to download the "TAM" [and not the "TAB"] font. - Any other TAM encoded font can be used instead.
