Devnagari Language on your computer Challange part 1

Sorry for all those who visit this blog , this posting of todays is around 3 to 4months later than usual.

I visited a person , today , whose has created some special fonts for marathi and konkani format. Which is kinda of really great , but whats even greater is that this particular set of fonts are aesthetic and cool. Now that i have talked about these fonts , lets see where we can get them and install them on our computer.

They are available for Windows and on Linux . Then again if the font is in ttf , it should be runnable on linux anyway( well thats my belief and untill i am proved otherwise , this line sticks here)

Anyway lets see how to get them and then install them.

Here is the link where Shubhanan Gangal the creator of the fonts gives it away for free.

Here is the link for windows :

This one is for linux :

Now how to install them is also very simple. If you are a windows user , and have not installed a software yet . Well for you mostly my directions would be extract using winrar available on rarlabs.com

Then simply double click exe and next next untill finish 

Linux person simply has to copy them over to /usr/share/fonts/

directory.

Now why gangal's fonts , 

1. They are phonetic in nature as in you type the words which kinda relate to sounds of the alphabets 

     A proper example would be my name which is shyam ( Sha(broken) Ya M) श्याम 

   This can be achieved by phonatic approach shown in various tutorials which he offers.

2. Hence they are easy to learn 

3. He also offers something called tutorial which can not only help you learn but teach to your marathi children who will have forgotten this language.

Part one concludes here , The challange is there in part 2.
