[Tugindia] OTF fonts calling in LaTeX

[P. P. Narayanaswami]

The Xetex website (scripts.sil.org/xetex)  has some simple illustrations, and
the fontspec (we load this package in XeLaTeX) manual also has some
minimal examples.  Other than thes, I have bnot sewen any detailed 
documentartion. Here is a minimal input file fo typing Malayalam in XeLaTeX.
By default, xelated generates a PDF (assuming you have Rachana fonts 
installed in your operating system Win/Linux/Mac)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\def\mal{\fontspec[Script=Malayalam]{Rachana}}
\mal 
മാവേലി നാട്‌
വാണീടും
കാലം\\
മാനുഷരെല്ലാരു
മൊന്നുപോലേ
\end{docuemt}
