    Dear Mr. Jaideep Karnik

    I have gone through the contents of the CD (Tamil Software Tools) distributed by MCIT. I can find Tamil fonts as follows:
    Open Type Fonts
    1. CDAC - 50
    2. CADGRAF - 50
    3. Modular - 20

    True Type Fonts
    1. CDAC - 50 (TAB : 25, TAM : 25)
    2. CK - 67 (TAB : 24, TAM : 43)

    I have analysed the Open Type Fonts for Alternate Tamil Unicode. However, I couldn’t find anything. Can you point out which font contains the alternate Tamil Unicode.

    With warm regards,

    N. Anbarasan
