VIDYA VRIKSHAH
Our Software Base
The
contents of these pages which appear in different Indian languages have
been prepared using the multilingual software developed at the Indian Institute
of Technology, Chennai, India. The software caters to a variety of
applications in Indian languages of which data preparation for use on the
web is one. Viewers interested in finding more information about
this unique Multilingual software or information in respect of all
aspects of Language Computing in general,
may visit the IIT Chennai Web site http://acharya.iitm.ac.in/
Guidelines for viewing the text in Original Scripts.
The Multilingual editor
used in the preparation of the documents makes use of Truetype fonts for
displaying text. Recent developments in Web Browsers permit viewing documents
using Dynamic fonts which are sent along with the document such that at
the browser end, one need not install special fonts. As of now, Dynamic
fonts are supported under the Windows95/NT and X-Windows platforms. Vidya
Vrikshah pages may be viewed using Dynamic fonts but in the interest of
allowing the text to be viewed on many different computers, we recommend
that you install Indian language fonts on your system as per recommendations
given below.
The latest version
of the IIT Software Package which can be dowloaded free from the IIT Chennai
Website URL given above now contains a new standardised set of Fonts, which
are being used by us in our current presentations. However earlier
versions of the Package used other Fonts which have been used in many of
our earlier presentations. All those fonts listed below and are freely
available on the Web. Therefore you will have to download the fonts from
their respective sites. Please get the fonts downloaded from the links
given below, and have them installed on your system before viewing the
text contained in these pages. Also, note that all the fonts may not be
available for all the platforms. The URLs were correct at the time of preparation
of this page. If you still have difficulty in getting these fonts, kindly
contact us with details by email at umaks@vsnl.com
Some of our presentations
on music invoke sound files. You can listen to these if you have Windows
Media Player or Real Audio Player on your computer.
