സഹായം:To Read in Malayalam
On this page we will try to explain how to resolve problems when viewing the Malayalam pages. Malayalam Wikipedia uses Unicode to encode its pages. If you do not see Malayalam letters at all you may need a Malayalam Unicode Font, sections below explain the best options for various platforms. If you see Malayalam letters but there are too many spelling mistakes your browser is probably not set up for Indic scripts. Please see "Setting up your browser for Indic scripts". For Microsoft Windows users:Malayalam support, being part of Unicode, should be readable without any further configuration irrespective of the language on the PC. If you want to type in Malayalam, you'll need a corresponding keyboard - a easy way is to get the built-in Windows 10 keyboard by going to Settings -> Language and adding Malayalam in the "Preferred languages" section. You should be able to access the in-built keyboard that way.
For users of GNU/LinuxNote: just like Windows, you should be able to read Malayalam without any further configuration on modern versions of Linux. Use the below instructions only if there are issues. Malayalam Fonts are available here. For installing fonts open your font folder (For Fedora open your file browser, type fonts:/// hit enter; For Ubuntu open your file browser type /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ hit enter) and paste fonts in that folder. Restart any application that may need to use them. Your browser may need to set appropriate font (Font Rachana works fine, anyway check this page for finding appropriate font for you). Font setting for Firefox browser is available at Edit->Preference->Content->Advanced. If you are using Chromium browser (or Google chrome), sometimes you may find some minor display errors such as overlapping words or different sized words. You can fix this easily by setting a particular font (Preferably Rachana) explicitly for web content. For this, go to Settings (Click spanner icon on your toolbar), and select preferences. On the current window click "Under the hood" tab, and click the button "change font and language settings" in "Web content" subtitle. Sometimes you have to update your computer for better display of Malayalam. For that try tricks given below after login as a root. If these will not fix the problem please contact our Panchayath, Swathanthra Malayalam Computing or their irc chat platform (this link will work in browser). A wiki related to "Malayalam computing" is available here For DebianFor Debian lenny and above, there is no need of installing anything separately. All fonts are packaged with them and there is no rendering bugs. Follow the below steps for installing Malayalam fonts : Open command line/ Terminal and use these commands.
For Ubuntu/IT@schoolMalayalam font packages in ubuntu are not updated for long . Use following steps to install Malayalam fonts in 14.04 or later versions
On versions before 14.04
For FedoraFor Fedora 10 onwards, nothing to be done to enable Malayalam. All fonts are packaged and rendering issues are also solved. Managing Chillu CharactersEven though new versions of Linux distributions are working fine with Malayalam; default fonts bundled with them may not support Atomic Chillu Characters defined in Unicode 5.1.0. Size mismatch in characters is a common problem. You may need to update fonts as instructed above or try installing fonts manually to fix this issue. This modified version of font Rachana renders newly defined atomic Chillaksharams. Please follow this link to reach fonts, which support latest version of Unicode. You may also want to check original fonts (without any alteration and additions in the above mentioned fonts), they also support Atomic chillus, but has wrong representation of some glyphs and some other glyphs missing defined in latest Unicode. If you are reluctant to use fonts which are encoded with atomic chills, use this firefox add-on for firefox browser or this Chrome extension for Google chrome (or for chromium browser) to convert newly defined Chillaksharams to old fashion. For users of Mac OS XDownload Mac version Rachana Font and install it. The easiest way to install font is to copy it into ~/Library/Fonts. More details about installing fonts available here. Apple's Safari may not render the pre-Unicode 5.1 coded (non-atomic) chillaksharangal properly. However, Firefox 3.x renders everything correctly. More details available at MacMalayalam. For users of very old Android versionsIf you don't have Malayalam font on your Android device, an experimental version of Android Browser can be installed to view Malayalam Wikipedia and other Malayalam Unicode websites in Android devices. You can download the app from ML-Browser.
