"if you cant read this, this message is not meant for you!"

I believe you meant the reader being able to understand the native language script but for me, it took on a whole new meaning! My browser just substituted the fonts with those unfriendly looking squares, rendering the message unreadable even to a person who could have understood the language! For the record, I'm using Iceweasel on Debian Etch.

Good point! The English message was for people not to break their head trying to figure what the secret message is about!!

Wonder why your setting does not show the fonts...

the squares means that the browser understood the encoding, but did not have the font to display it. Install indic font package in Debian.

PS: if there are question marks then the browser didn't even understood the character encoding.

Thanks RP! After an 'apt-get install ttf-indic-fonts', I can now actually see what Sasi sir has written. Pity I can't do an apt-get install malayalam-literacy onto myself, at least not quite as quickly! I can now at least identify with Sasi sir's friendly warning which did seem rather hostile when the text was all boxes!

happy Vishu!!
