These pages have been authored in Malayalam unicode characters, but if your operating system and browser are not configured correctly, all you might see in these pages are thousands of empty squares, or better, badly rendered Malayalam.

For best results in Microsoft Windows, I would strongly recommend font AnjaliOldLipi, as the page-rendering for Windows was practically fine-tuned for it; details explained further below. Additionally, these pages have been styled for Internet Explorer versions 7 and above (IE7+) and Firefox versions 3 and above (Firefox 3+); the rendering in IE6 particulary is known to have issues.

Anyways, if you face trouble, let me first set your expectation on how this page could look like, and then guide you through the process; following is how it looks like in my Ubuntu Linux (you may click the image to enlarge it), rendering in Windows could be a little different, but not very far:

Now that you've seen how the page could look like, lemme guide you to get your browser to display it as close as possible.

If your O/S is linux, check out http://www.offlineblog.net/2008/06/how-to-read-malayalam-on-gnu-linux-how-to-read-malayalam-malayalam-computin/ for instructions.

Windows users, pls visit http://vfaq.blogspot.com/2005/04/essentials-on-using-malayalam-unicode.html where Cibu has explained a 10-step process to get a better Malayalam rendering in your browser. The discussions and links on that page could help with any other issues you might face too.

Again, due to differences in operating systems and versions, fine tuning might still be required to get the best malayalam rendering - but, the above 10-pointer should give you quite a "readable" page. If you are using windows, you could add to the rendering at an O/S level, with the following steps after the 10 above:
1. Go to Control Panel
2. Open "Regional & language options"
3. Click on the "Languages" tab
4. Check the box against "Install files for complex script & right-to-left languages"
5. Hit "Apply", and it would configure your system to read complex scripts like malayalam better. (depending on your system installation, it might prompt you to point it where the "i386" folder is, from your windows installation)
6. Restart the system, and your system is all geared up for Malayalam.

If nothing works, do feel free to drop me a line here :-) I'll help you out. (P.S. That page is in Malayalam too; so, following are the text fields you'd see there, in their order of occurance: Name, Email, Subject, Message. You'd see one more - fill in the captcha text there to prove that you are not a robot, and off you hit the button)
