Malayalam fonts package update in AUR
Friday, July 30th, 2010This is old news, but still :
Swathanthra Malayalam Computing had brought out a newer release of the fonts they maintain on July 15 – release announcement is here .
I maintain an AUR script that can be used to install the fonts. I updated in on July 16 , but never did post it anywhere else except on the SMC mailinglist. I am putting this post up here for users who are looking for ways to install Malayalam fonts on their Arch Linux powered computers
I assume that you have installed yaourt. If you have not yet, please do install it. AUR is the install script repository for packages maintained by other Arch users, and yaourt is one of the best tools to install and manage packages from AUR.
To install the latest version of the malayalam fonts, issue the following command from a terminal.
yaourt -S ttf-malayalam-fonts
