- If you are using windows xp, you should be able to see telugu font by default
- If you are using a windows operating system other than windows xp you can view telugu by
- Installing pothana or gautami font. Pothana font can be downloaded from here
- You can install a font by copying it into Fonts directory of windows. This will generally be c:\windows\fonts or c:\winnt\fonts.
- Upgrade your browser to the latest version of internet explorer(version 6 at present)
- Download usp10.dll from http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/U/USP10.DLL/1.0420.2600.2180/download.html and copy it to internet explorer directory in program files (c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer)
- If you are using linux, download the pothana font from this link and install it. In the recent linux distributions you should be able to install font just by copying it to .fonts directory in your home directory.(You should create it if it does not exists).
- If you are using an older version of linux check this link for installing fonts
- You need the latest version of mozilla/firefox/konqueror to view unicode telugu font.
- If the font does not appear properly in mozilla/firefox try setting MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO env. variable to 1 and then start the browser as shown below.
$export MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1
$firefox #or mozilla whichever is there in your system

I don't have any idea about Mac. I never used it.
Have you followed these steps?
Download the pothana font from http://www.kavya-nandanam.com/Pothana2k-95.zip and install it. In the recent linux distributions you should be able to install font just by copying it to .fonts directory in your home directory.(You should create it if it does not exists).
