SaiVrishin.ttf - Tscii encoding SaiIndira.ttf - Tscii encoding Sai-Sai.ttf - Tscii encoding SaiEmbed-forPDF.ttf - Tscii encoding SaiMeera.ttf - TAB encoding Note: a) Thanks to Mr. P.S. Ranganathan (alias Kadugu, a great humour writer) for developing the exquisite 'Sai' Tscii fonts for Azhagi. He is the one who has developed the beautiful Tscii fonts shown at the end of this page (porunai, pothigai, etc.) too. b) If you are using any of the above Tscii encoded fonts for creating your PDF documents, kindly always use SaiEmbed-forPDF font for creating the same. c) Tscu_SaiIndira unicode font was created by me using 'SaiIndira' font's characters as the base. 'Tscu' indicates the fact that it is a 'Tscii cum unicode' dual encoded font. d) Click here to read an important note on monolingual fonts, bilingual fonts, multilingual fonts, dual encoded fonts, multi encoded fonts, etc. |
Considering the above, when you select a multilingual (e.g. Arial Unicode MS) or bilingual font (e.g. SaiIndira) from the fonts list of an editor (e.g. MS Word) and start typing, you can type in English only and NOT in Tamil. If you wish to type in Tamil, then you need* a software like Azhagi/Azhagi+ up and running or you need any other tool/utility/mechanism - which will display the Tamil characters from that multilingual/bilingual font.
(*) as mentioned clearly at two places in this very page, as point a)

Regarding fonts developed by various 'other entities', out of goodwill, I have listed information about them above. Otherwise, whether any of such 'other fonts' is still free or not (OR) how any of such 'other fonts' exactly function (OR) whether the 'other fonts' function accurately or error-free, etc. etc. is entirely under the control of the respective authors only. I, personally, do not have any indepth idea of the various aspects of the 'other fonts'. As such, you can consider that I have just shared some information on 'other fonts'. That is all. So, use of any of the 'other fonts' is entirely upto your discretion. In other words, it is absolutely at your own risk to download/install/try/use any of the 'other fonts'. Also, please note that links to any of the 'other fonts' were valid links at the time of my mentioning them first in this page only. Whether these links remain valid all the time thereafter is not under my control, naturally. For my part, I do check the correctness of some of these links randomly, once in a while.
