Hi,

Just download the fonts from respective webpages and do the following steps.

  1. open nautilus
  2. Press Ctrl+L ( it will goes to address bar)
  3. type "fonts://" ( without quotes)
  4. drag the downloaded font file to this fonts:// folder.
  5. open a terminal.
  6. execute "fc-cache -f -v" ( notice, everything without "sudo")....

close your firefox and reopen it.. you can use tamil fonts working properly.

thanks, Regards, XProgrammer.
