Stepwise instructions - to view Unicode Tamil text -
1. You need to have Unicode Tamil fonts installed on your computer and the Operating System capable of rendering Tamil Scripts. Windows XP comes with a Unicode Tamil Font (Latha) and you should not need to download/install a unicode font.
2. In the Control Panel, in Regional/Languages Options you will need to ensure that Indic/Asian Language option is checked.
3. Use a browser that is capable of handling UTF-8 based pages (Netscape 6, Internet Explorer 5) with the Unicode Tamil font chosen as the default font for the UTF-8 char-set/encoding view. Unicode Tamil Fonts may be downloaded from here
Some users of Windows 98/NT/ME/2000 Windows NT may find that even with a Tamil Unicode font installed and the browser correctly set to View > Encoding > Unicode, some of the Tamil letters are incorrectly displayed. An example of this incorrect display may be viewed here using any TSC font -
"அதோ அந்த பறவை போல வாழ வேண்டும்இதோ இந்த அலைகள் போல ஆட வேண்டும்ஒரே வானிலே ஒரே மண்ணிலேஒரே கீதம் உரிமை கீதம் பாடுவோம்"
This may be due to the earlier version of usp10.dll used in these operating systems. To correct this, it may be necessary to update the usp10.dll file in Windows. To do this,
1. Download the latest version of the usp10.dll file. [one of the sites for this download is here . Alternatively, you may download the file from the Microsoft site here - save the downloaded .exe file - double click on the file - give a temporary folder address - the program will extract a few files into the folder - of these 'usp.zip' is the one you will need - discard the other files - unzip usp.zip - it will give two files viz: usp10.dll and readme.txt ]
2. Go to the Windows folder and find the file named usp10.dll (usually in the System and/or System32 sub folder). Rename the file to a different name say usp10.old .
3. Place the newly downloaded usp10.dll file in the same folder as the renamed usp10.old file.
6. Re start the computer.
[in addition see also - How to Switch usp.dll and Making Uniscribe (USP10.DLL) Available for All Programmes]
Ram S.Ravindran on using Tamil Unicode in Personal Computers - "Most of the PC computer users use either Win 98 or XP operating systems. I recognize there are some of us who use Mac and Linux machines.
Win 98 OS and the applications that go with them don’t support Unicode format. However, if you have Win 98 you can input in Unicode Tamil.
Recently (March 2004) most of us came to know of a neat freeware program called LedLineIt!. This program allows you to create Unicode font Tamil documents. All you need is e- Kalappai 1.0 or 2.0 with the Unicode kmx file.
You can create a Unicode Tamil document with the use of Thenee, aVarangal or TSCArparnar fonts. This program doesn’t use any dll or Windows hook ups. However the exe file is about 3.4 megs.
If you have IE explorer 5.5 or higher you can use Ledlineit to create Unicode Tamil text and cut and paste it in Hotmail or Yahoo Webmail email text boxes. So if you have Win 98 you can in fact read and write in Unicode Tamil in the email. Likewise you can paste it in Blogs.
Using Leadlineit , you can save the Unicode document file and print it out as well. As a matter of fact, you can even save the document as a HTML file for uploading to a free Web hosting service. So you can use it as a HTML editor as well.If you have Win XP machine, to get the best Unicode capability, you need to install the Asian font capability. From start, go to settings, control panel and then select the regional settings. Install the Asian font capability. (you might be asked to place the WinXP OS disk). After you install the Asian font capability , select the regional font option again and select advanced. Select the Tamil language option.
With MS office XP Word and selecting Tamil driver and selecting Latha font and using Ekalappai you can create a Tamil Unicode document. Using Publisher 2003 you can create a Web page. Of course you can cut and paste into a Blog page.
You can enter in Tamil into the text boxes of Yahoo mail and Hotmail as well. The most important thing to do is to make sure that you have the Internet options set with Thenee UNIX font and Tamil language selected. If you don’t do it right then things won’t be right. Now you can input in Unicode Tamil in both Win 98 and XP systems. Thanks to Ekalappai, (Keyman module) and Ledlineit we have the ability to input in Unicode Tamil." - (in Tamil dot Net mailing list in March 2004)

Dr. M. AnandakrishnanVice-Chairman, Tamilnadu State Council For Higher Education,Lady Willington College Campus, Kamarajar Salai, Chennai 600 005 at Tamil Internet 2000, Directions to the Digital World, Singapore 22-24 July 2000
Preface
The talent, interest and energy in Tamil Computing are widely scattered around the world. For nearly two decades, the expertise and enthusiasm of this community were reflected as individual efforts mainly engaged in development of fonts and keyboard drivers.
The fast changes in the computing environment and worldwide proliferation of Internet usage have widened the base of interest in Tamil Computing and Internet applications. In this evolution, the first Tamilnet'97 Conference in Singapore identified the key issues and outlined the scope for further intensive efforts. The second Conference, Tamilnet'99 held in Chennai provided the basis for evolving common schemes for Tamil font encoding and Tamil keyboard configuration.
Since then, there has been a sharp increase in he level of activities in development of products and initiating efforts in new directions responding to the rapid advances in information technology. Current momentum includes, attention to operating systems, OCR, Text to Voice, Tamil Browsers, remote communication, printers, font and Tamil menus, dynamic fonts, Tamil e-mail, Tamil Domain Names, Tamil Virtual libraries, Web-based Tamil Courses and so on. This paper presents an overview of the efforts in Tamil Nadu.
Introduction Since the early eighties, when personal computers became available extensively, a number of persons with deep interest in Tamil began development of Tamil fonts for use in the computers. A large number of Tamil fonts were created as glyphs allocating the upper half of the 8 bit ASCII Table. Individual font developers assigned different code positions to different characters and modifiers.
Since most of these initial developments were in English speaking countries with easier access to personal computers than India, many chose to adopt Romanised Keyboards, with some small variations in using the QWERTY keys for some Tamil fonts. There were also developments of Tamil keyboard configurations, either resembling largely the Remington Tamil Typewriter or with configurations of individual taste and reasoning. The Singapore Tamilnet 97 Conference organized by Dr. Naa Govindasamy highlighted these variations and the consequent handicaps in promoting use of Tamil in computers and in effective penetration of Tamil in Internet. This challenge was articulated extensively by a group of enthusiastic persons through the discussion group TSCII (Tamil Standard Character for Information Interchange). At the same time Dr. Naa Govindasamy evolved font encoding schemes and keyboard configurations through the IRDU (Internet Research and Development Unit) of Singapore. The Tamilnet 99 at Chennai provided an occasion to review these initiatives and suggested that the Tamil Glyph Encoding should consist of a monolingual (TAM) as well as a 2 bilingual (TAB) scheme. It also recommended a phonetic keyboard layout. The conference drew attention to the various important and urgent efforts required to be undertaken.
Convergence in Font Encoding Most, if not all, of the Font Developers are since converging towards one of the following encoding schemes:
Anjal, TSCII, TAM, TAB , and Unicode
The user community is getting accustomed to the products based on one or the other scheme determined by their convenience for exchange of documents, e-mail communication, operating environments and ease of availability and support. In Tamil Nadu all of these schemes are in use. There are also a few, mainly some Tamil newspapers on the Internet, who continue to use fonts outside these schemes either due to inertia or backend compatibility.
Convergence in Keyboard Configuration
The Tamil keyboard configuration in computer has also been converging towards the following:
RomanizedTamil 99 (phonetic)TypewriterUnicode
The Romanized keyboard is mostly akin to Anjal sequence. Some variations in this need to be resolved. It is very convenient for those familiar with the English language.The Tamil 99 keyboard does not require the use of shift key except for Grantha characters. Since one needs to remember only about half the key positions as compared to other systems, the new learners are attracted to this. The availability of bilingual keyboards based on Tamil 99 configuration facilitates its widespread use. The automatic - pulli - is an add-on convenience.The typewriter keyboard is used by persons accustomed to the Remington Tamil Typewriters. The Government of Tamil Nadu has also recommended a common configuration for the typewriter keyboard configuration for computers.The recent introduction of Unicode Tamil in Windows 2000 will require familiarity with its keyboard configuration. It may be pointed out that it does not matter which keyboard configuration is used as long as the associated keyboard driver is available. It is a matter of individual's choice and convenience.
Certification Objective For the users in Tamil Nadu Government system it has been decided that they would use TAM or TAB primarily to ensure transportability of data and information. To ensure that the purchases of Tamil Software products by Government users are assured of compatibility, the Government designated the Kanithamizh Sangam to undertake the responsibility to evaluate and certify that the software products conform to the TAM/TAB encoding scheme.
It also required the keyboards to conform to the Tamil99 and/or the recommended typewriter configuration and the associated prescribed key sequence. The process of evaluation by Kanithamizh Sangam has built-in transparency and checks. It has been helpful in expediting product evaluation and to build in confidence in government purchases without procedural hurdles. It is also a convenience for Tamil software developers. The users outside the government system need not insist on certification for encoding.
Certified Products After the Tamilnet 99 Conference on 7-8 February 1999, the Government of Tamil Nadu announced on 13.06.1999 the encoding standards for TAM/TAB fonts and Keyboard configuration of Tamil 99. Kanithamizh Sangam has so far certified 17 products for conformity to Tamil 99 standards.Other Products in Use
Apart from the certified products, many other products that are now available in the market have followed the Tamil 99 Standards exclusively or as one of the options, as for example:
MURASU ANJAL 2000
With 6 Keyboard and 6 Encoding Options, including TAM and TAB Fonts and Tamil 99 Keyboard Works with TAM Fonts and Tamil 99 Keyboard

i-LEAP
Word Processor with TAM and TAB Fonts and Tamil 99 Keyboard as one of the options
TEXT TO SPEECH SOFTWARE
Multilingual software developed by IIT, Madras including TAB Fonts
Ongoing ActivitiesA number of initiatives are currently underway in developing new Tamil softwares and tools such as:- IDHAM 2000 - An Advanced Tamil Interface for MS Windows**- Bilingual Search Engine for Tamil and English Sites** - Tamil JAVA - A Tamil Pre-processor for JAVA** - Tamil 99 Keyboard Driver under DOS** - Optical Character Reader (OCR) Software** (** These are described in separate papers sub-nitted for the Conference.) - Text to Speech Synthesizer - This will convert any machines readable text into speech - PONN - A Tamil Operating System - This will provide an operating environment both in Tamil and English with facility for user communication and design to execute the commands given in Tamil.
Conclusion Considering the rapid changes in the hardware systems, application software, operating environments and communication devices, there are many new challenges that are to be undertaken with time-bound goals and involving the best talents available worldwide. It would be useful to assign the primary responsibility for undertaking the development tasks to a particular institution or a research group who should be funded adequately. The progress of work should be reviewed at predefined intervals not only by the funding agency but also through another designated mechanism such as INFITT. New demands for development of unique products which are of immediate relevance should also be identified through such a mechanism and evolve a method to analyse the involvement of competent persons. It is high time that the perspectives on Tamil computing and Tamil Internet are guided by vision and hope far beyond font encoding and keyboards.

Film schools and film directing schools provide aspiring film students with a solid understanding of the many facets of the film industry. While graduating from one of the many top film schools or film directing schools does not ensure a film school graduate success in the film industry, it certainly increases the odds in his or her favor. The film industry is becoming much more competitive and graduates of film schools or film directing schools have more doors opened to them because of their film school or film directing school diploma or degree. Because graduating from one of the many film schools and film directing schools requires lots of time and money, make sure that film school or film directing school is, in fact, the option that will best help you reach your film career goals.


Choosing the Film SchoolProgram That Is Right for You: How to Choose a Film School, Film Making School, or Film Directing School

The film industry is a lucrative, multi-faceted one. Depending on what part of film production and movie making you would like to learn, there is a film school or film directing school for you. Top film schools and film directing schools are located all over the United States, and choosing the right one can often prove very difficult to a prospective film student.

  • Researching Film School, Film Making School and Film Directing School Options

Due to the increasing demand of film-related jobs, film schools have been increasing in number. However, not all of these film schools issue film degrees or film diplomas that are taken seriously in the film industry. To be sure that you avoid attending one of these film schools, make sure you do plenty of research on the film school. Some questions you may want ask yourself are:


· Has this film school or film directing school been around for a while?

· Is this film school or film directing school affiliated with a major university?

· Does this film school have the credentials to back up its program?

· Have this film school’s teachers worked in the industry?


If the answer to many of these questions is no, you may want to consider another film school. Well established film schools that have been around for a long time are generally taken more seriously in the film industry. The film students of film schools affiliated with major universities are also more widely accepted. As a prospective film student, you want your film school teachers to have had experience in the film industry. If not, how can you expect to learn from them how to break into the film industry? The film school’s credentials are very important. Some film schools give degrees that are almost worthless in the film industry. Make sure that the film school that you choose is one that is respected in the film industry.

  • Film School Location

Another factor in choosing a film school is location. If you would like to remain closer to home, then check the film schools in your area. Many of the most acclaimed film schools are located in New York and in Los Angeles, as they are the two major film centers in the United States. You may want to choose a film school in one of these or another major city, because it will give you a chance to be close to the film industry. This opens up more opportunities for you to get an film-related internship or job.

  • Film School, Film Making School, Film Directing Schools That Meet Your Career Needs

Depending on what branch of film most interests you, you will want to select a film school with a degree/program that will aid you in your particular field of interest.

There are three major types of film schools. Industry film schools are film schools that prepare you for a career in Hollywood and teach you how best to go about selling your movie ideas to producers. Independent film school will help you if you want to produce major films outside of the Hollywood system. Experimental film school does not teach the financial and business side of film, but focuses on the artistic side of film.

  • Film School Degrees vs. Film School Diplomas

Another very important factor when choosing a film school is knowing what the film schools offer you upon graduation. Some film schools will offer a degree, and some will offer a diploma upon completion of the course, but no degree. That is not to say that the programs are not recognized by the film industry, however. Many of the film degrees available are MFA (Master of Fine Arts) Degrees. To be considered for admission into a film school program of this nature, you must already have an undergraduate degree.

If possible, visit the film schools or film directing schools you are seriously considering attending. Make sure that you like the campus, city, and program they have to offer. You are given many options when looking for a film school. Make sure you choose the one that is right for you.


Applying to Film School and Film Making Schools

When applying to a film school or a number of film schools, you will be asked to provide them with various items to demonstrate your ability as a film-maker and prospective film school student. You may want to start early accumulating things that will look impressive in order to be admitted to your first choice film school.


Preparing Your Film School Résumé

The first item you will be asked to submit will be a résumé. In addition to the things you would put on any college application, you will want to focus on certain things. Many film schools look for students with advanced writing skills. Taking writing classes will give you an edge. Acting and theater-related classes will also help you, especially if you hope to specialize in directing during your film school career. Directing requires you to be able to relate and effectively communicate with the actors you are working with. Also, be sure to include any previous movie production experience you have, if any.


Making a Application Film for Film School

The other, equally important thing that a film school will want to see is a sample movie. Film schools want to see you in action. They want to see an example of your film production abilities. If you don’t have a video camera yourself, try to borrow one from a friend. The movie should not be very long. It should probably be between 5 and 10 minutes. Make multiple movies. Watch them with others and have them give you feedback. Your films will get progressively better as you gain more experience. With this information in mind, you may want to take different extra-curricular film programs and attend film camps to give yourself an extra edge in the competition for film school admission.


Other Requirements for Film School Applications

Some film schools may ask for other things, including a screenplay other example of your writing, an animation storyboard, or photographs. Much of it depends on the individual film schools, and what area of film you want to enter. For example, if you wanted to enter animation, you would most likely need to send your prospective film school drawings. Be sure to check the admission requirements for your specific film school.


How To Best Prepare for Film School

It is important to know how to adequately prepare yourself before applying to film schools or film directing schools. If properly prepared, gaining admission into top film schools or film directing schools will be much easier.

Make your own films: There are some film schools and film directing schools that require applicants to submit a short film that he or she has made. Therefore, it is important that you be prepared and make as many films as possible. Top film schools and film directing schools look for dedication, discipline, and passion.

Take as many writing courses as possible - It is very important to take as many writing courses as possible since many film schools and film directing schools favor applicants who can write proficiently.

Take acting and theater classes and courses - Enroll in as many acting and theater classes as possible since this will provide you with valuable experience and allow you to submit a strong application to film schools and film directing schools.


What You Should Do Once Enrolled in Film School, Filmmaking School or Film Directing School

A film school degree will not necessarily secure you a place in the Hollywood film industry. However, an MFA film degree will definitely be able to help you. It, at the very least will give you the credentials necessary to teach. If, however you are a prospective film student who is very motivated to break into the feature film industry, there are certain film goals you should attain during your film school career. During a film school career, the typical successful film school student that goes on to make feature films accomplishes a few things. A film school student destined for success will come out of film school with a very good short film. The film student will generally also have a screen-play for a feature film that they have written and intend to make into a film. This is especially important if you want to direct films.


What Type of Film Classes Should Students enroll in at Film School?

Depending on what film school you go to, most will offer a slightly flexible film curriculum. Many film schools allow you to specialize, depending upon your career goals for the film industry. If a film school student wants to be directing films, producing films, editing films, or working in one of the multitudes of other jobs necessary to putting a film together, there is most likely a class for them. This, however, means that a film student will increase his or her chances of success by knowing what type of film career he or she wants to pursue after film school. A film school student should choose film classes based on this goal, because, while all film students will be given a general education in the basics, many good film schools will not only allow you to, but encourage you to become more specialized in one area of film studies. Film schools will generally offer classes in many or all of the following categories:

  • Cinematography in Film

  • Producing Films and Film Production

  • Film Directing

  • Film Production Design

  • Set Design

  • Screenwriting for Films

  • Film Editing

  • Working with Actors

Many top film schools will offer various levels of all of these film courses. Sometimes, you will take the basic film courses in all of these areas. After that, however, a film school student may often choose what areas of film he or she wishes to continue studying. For example, a film school student wishing to become a film director may take all of the Film Directing courses offered to him, as well as all of the Working with Actors courses. He may, however, choose to only take only one class of Producing Films. Alternatively, if a film school student wanted to produce films after gradation from film school, he or she may take all the Producing Films courses, but only one Film Directing course. Remember the importance of deciding on your film career goals before enrolling in one of the top film schools. The options are endless, and you should check the curriculum of the film schools you are considering attending and choose your film school schedule wisely.

Make Your Own Fonts, In a Web Browser (Slashdot)
"Although it's been up for a few weeks, today is the official launch of FontStruct, a web-based font creation tool. That's right: in your web browser, you can build your own typeface, and download it as a TrueType font. The site's user agreement requires you to release your creations online under one of the Creative Commons licenses. The typefaces tend to be a little blocky, but it's still impressive (and a great way to pass time)." >> Read More...

Our Favorite Typefaces of 2007 (Typographica)
Typographica’s fourth annual review showcases the best in new typeface design. Twenty-five of the world’s brightest graphic and type designers selected their favorite font releases of the year. We welcome to our regular cast of contributors: David Berlow, Ellen Lupton, and Erik Spiekermann, among others. This edition brings two changes. First, the description has evolved from “fonts” to “typefaces”. Yes, there is a difference. Mark Simonson explains it bes t: “The physical embodiment of a collection of letters (whether it’s a case of metal pieces or a computer file) is a font. When referring to the design of the collection (the way it looks) you call it a typeface.” >> Read More...

The font of all personality (BBC News)
The choice of font used in e-mails and type-written letters could say more about an individual's personality than their creative writing skills. Graphology - the art of studying handwriting - has been used for centuries to try to analyse people's characters, but since the demise of personal handwriting, the experts have moved on to typefaces to look for clues to our identities. If the experts are correct, choice of font could prove important when writing a letter to your bank manager or a spurned lover. The Psychology of Fonts, commissioned by Lexmark Printers and written by psychologist Dr Aric Sigman explains how a typeface will significantly influence what the reader thinks about you. Courier is seen as the choice of "sensible shoes" type of people or "anoraks" and curvy icons like Georgia or Shelly suggest a bit of a "rock chick" personality. The study suggests fonts can be matched to top personalities, and cites the following examples: >> Read More...

FontViewer 3 : Preview and Manage Your Fonts to Improve Performance (PC Magazine)
Having unique fonts is great for making your documents look special or for putting a distinctive caption on a photograph or video clip. But if you have hundreds of fonts, you may be slowing down Windows, word processors, and other programs that use fonts. Applications like Word and Photoshop load all of the available fonts into dropdown boxes. If you have hundreds of fonts, your application loading times might be slower than a system with just a few fonts. In addition, it can be difficult to find the font you want when scrolling through a list from a dropdown box. They usually appear small and it can be hard to see many fonts at once. >> Read More...

Cyberclinic : Font Hunt (Independent, UK)
In the 12 years since I bought my first computer, I've paid for precisely one font. One. That was when I was attempting to learn Hungarian (long story) and I couldn't find the double-umlaut the Magyars use – so I had to fork out for a special Central European one. There have been times when my computer was full of fonts I'd picked up here and there – before I realised that, actually, I wasn't ever going to be a graphic designer, so I junked them. These days I make do with the pre-installed fonts on my machine, and reliable old warhorses such as Arial and Times do me proud. But there's no doubting that font piracy is endemic. I mean, have you ever bought one? >> Read More...

Publisher purges thousands of unlicensed fonts (CNET News.com, CA)
Publishing giant Faber & Faber is wiping away the chance of costly lawsuits by using software to purge unlicensed fonts. The London publishing house, which has printed classic authors from T.S. Eliot to W.H. Auden, found hundreds of thousands of unlicensed fonts on their machines using software from Monotype Imaging. The haul could have cost hundreds of thousands if left unaddressed--a recent Business Software Alliance enquiry valued 11,000 unlicensed typefaces at another London publishing house as being worth 80,000 pounds ($156,000). >> Read More...
