Hi Shriramana,

Wikipedia is adding Lohit fonts as a Web fonts (WOFT) in wikimedia. So one
can get proper rendering of content even if fonts is not present/available
locally.

http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Main_Page?setlang=ta

But we were facing some hinting issues while using WOFT so santhosh had
applied Embolden transformation of fontforge on Lohit Tamil and wants
feedback whether it looks good or not.


Thanks,
Pravin Satpute
