Hi,
        I assume u already have Xfstt running on ur system. Download the
language font and copy it to /usr/share/fonts/truetype. Then run,

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfstt stop (stops the tt font server)

# xfstt --sync (Synchronize the font database with installed fonts)

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfstt start (starts the font server)

        Fire up X and run Netscape. In Edit --> Preferences  --> Fonts and set
the Variable font to the indian language font. Select "Use my default
fonts over riding document specified fonts"

        That's it! Restore the default font settings when done with the
language font. The down point is that all your english text gets junked
when u have the default font as a indian language font.

        If there is a better way to mix standard fonts + language fonts please
let me know.
