When I tried Google Chrome browser for Malayalam websites, it worked fine. But, then I saw couple of comments about Malayalam font issues on Chrome.
Malayalam UTF fonts were working fine on Chrome, the issue was with manoramaonline.com. To be frank, I am clueless here. Because, I never bothered about how manoramaonline.com’s malayalam page looked like on firefox or IE, and it never worked for me. I was using mathrubhumi.com for news and blogspot, wordpress blogs using Malayalam utf fonts, and I never had any issues. Things were almost the same here with Chrome too.
So, I have two questions.
1. Do you have any issues with Google Chrome Malayalam fonts ? Is it manoramaonline.com only or, just anything written in Malayalam ?
2. Do you know how to fix this issue ?
If you have answer for any of these questions, or another question related to this, drop me a comment here or email me hello at offlineblog.net
As far as I know, if you were able to browse Malayalam websites using firefox, you should not have any problem with Chrome also.

Coming here after a looong time… and your template is SUPERB!!!!!!
1. Manorama is still using ASCII fonts and that is why you weren’t able to view it normally. If a site is using ASCII font means, you will have to install that specific ASCII font, the site used.
Mathrubhumi uses Unicode, so you can read it with ANY Unicode font. In Firefox, the problem of using different ASCII fonts for different sites can be installed by using an add-on called padma.
2. I haven’t installed Chrome in my computer, as they haven’t released one for GNU/Linux yet. But I have seen it running in my friends computer and my Malayalam blog was rendered perfectly.
3. As for ASCII font based sites, like Manorama, Keralakaumudi and Deshabhimani, I think you will have to install all the fonts manually when you are using Chrome else use Firefox with padma
4. Google Chrome sucks big time, thank god (chumma! I don’t believe in it/him/her) that Google has this non-branded community supported Chromium browser.
I have installed Chrome yesterday. It works well for Mathrubhumi and Madhyamam (i think it is better than firefox). But Manaoram didn;t load properly. I installed the Manorama font, that didnt make any difference. Manorama is using dynamic fonts as far as I know. So, I dont know why it is not rendered properly in Chrome
I installed the font and tried manoramaonline and it is working fine now thanks…
Dude, I’ve got Win XP and I downloaded Chrome, and when I tried installing, it says it doesn’t support this version of Windows!! Any clues??

I wish to know how to instal Manorama (ttf) font into my Nokia 5800 Xpress mobile phone. At present, I am able to access the site but the Malayalam font is not displayed and in place of that, only junk characters and sqares are appearing. How to rectify this? I have searched manormaonline.com for the steps to instal their font but to no avail. I also tried messaging MM to 55555 but I have’nt got any response yet. I tried many times. If anyone has any idea as to how to instal this font into the Nokia handset? I have downloaded this font and this Manorama.ttf font file is with me. I wish to know how to instal the same into the Nokia mobile phone.
Thanks in advance to the valuable suggestion.
