asked Questions about Fonts TELUGU font is now available for Microsoft Windows 95/98 and NT You can
download it from Here I AM ABLE TO READ SOME OTHER TELUGU NEWS SITES WITHOUT DOWNLOADING ANY FONT. WHY SHOULD I DOWNLOAD A FONT TO READ ANDHRA PRABHA? Andhra Prabha is a Text based site where as some of the other Telugu sites are image based. It means, Andhra Prabha provides news and other content as Text. So, to read that text, you need a FONT just like Arial or Times New Roman. Where as some of the other Telugu sites are giving the news and other content as a picture / image, just like any other photo / image. So, to view that image, no font is required. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A TEXT BASED SITE? Images / Photos occupies more disk space than ordinary Text on the Computers. So we cannot give more news or the full text of the news items in Image / Photo formats. Where as we can give any volume of text in "text format" without any fear of disk space. Morever if the content is in Text format, the Site will come fast - Downloading time will be very less. That's why Andhra Prabha is able to give the full text of all the news items and other content where as the Image based sites are giving one or two paragraphs of each news item / stories. WHAT IS A FONT? A font is basically a File - and the File name of the font which we are providing here is APNEWS.TTF TTF stands for True Type Font.
