Hi Vasudev,

I've just checked. I think we are using the wrong files in Debian. The
maker of these fonts has separate files for packaging for Linux:

Pothana2000: http://kavya-nandanam.com/Pothana2k-Li.zip
Vemana2000: http://kavya-nandanam.com/Vemana2k-Li.zip

From: http://kavya-nandanam.com/dload.htm.old

I tried opening the .ttf files in these archives, fontforge did not throw
any warning. Probably, we should use these ttf files than the ones we are
currently using.

These are not the only fonts for Telugu. We have lohit_te also.


Thanks,
Veeven.
