>Konquerer supports Tamil fonts neatly, once made at the
proper scale under your font directory and served to X. Widely
used Netscape, however, is a problem. Netscape uses only 75 dpi
fonts for display. You might have noticed this even while
viewing Roman fonts, and got annoyed seeing small fonts. That

under 75 dpi. This can, however, be fixed by specifying the
appropriate resources in your <TT
