I have utf8 encoded data in a database.I tried retrieving it and storing in writer with popular fonts but the rendering is not exact.
Does openoffice provide any fonts compatible with exact rendering for South indian languages like Malayalam,Telugu,Tamil and Kannada.
If any such fonts are available , please guide me to the location where they can be downloaded from.
Thanks.

Re: Fonts for Indian Languages
OpenOffice provides no fonts; it uses fonts defined on and available to the operating system. Find a suitable font, install it to your OS, and restart OpenOffice and/or your operating system and the font should become available to OpenOffice.

I don't know what Red Hat version you're using, but on Fedora 18, the character map shows/uses:
$ rpm -qa | egrep -i 'lohit|meera'
lohit-tamil-fonts-2.5.1-2.fc17.noarch
lohit-assamese-fonts-2.5.1-2.fc17.noarch
lohit-devanagari-fonts-2.5.1-3.fc17.noarch

Don't ask why I have all these SE Asian fonts installed: I have no idea.

You can also look at the Sil International Fonts.
There are two types of people: those who believe that there are two types of people and those who do not.
