Type Malayalam in Photoshop, CorelDraw, Publisher etc. Without Character Map.

Typing Malayalam Unicode in Photoshop/CorelDraw etc. will not work well with Google input tools. It requires some ICFOS fonts to work like ML-TTKartika, ML-TTIndulekha etc. But where the problem is how to type using these fonts. Some websites recommends using character map in windows, But it is a boring job to type each and every word in Malayalam, especially if we want to type a paragraph or page... Another way is using ISM, but it costs around $225 I think. Don't worry, here is a free and easy solution, use my FontConverter software.

How to use it?

It is so simple...

1. If not present, download and install "Kartika" and "ML-TTIndulekha Normal" Fonts in your windows system. You can get ML-TT Fonts from here
2. Download and Install Google Input Tools
3. Download FontConverter setup and install it in your system.

Now start FontConverter. In the input text box, type using Google input tools. Then click "convert" button. The output is set to display in ML-TTIndulekhaNormal font. If the font not present, it will display junk characters. Copy the output and paste it in your target software and apply any of the supporting fonts.

Some supported fonts tested and found OK:

• MLW-TT Revathi
• ML-TTVishu
• ML-TTJyotsna
• ML-TTIndulekha
