Telugu rendering on Windows

[RKVS Raman]

Hi,

Thanks for that great help. I modified pango.aliases and things are now fine.

Here is the modified pango.aliases which will now support Hindi,
Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Devnagari, Bengali and
Punjabi on Windows XP (SP2) .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
courier = "courier new"

tahoma = "tahoma,lucida sans unicode,browallia
new,mingliu,simhei,gulimche,ms
gothic,kartika,latha,mangal,gautami,vrinda,tunga,raavi,shruti"
sans = "arial,lucida sans unicode,browallia
new,mingliu,simhei,gulimche,ms
gothic,kartika,latha,mangal,gautami,vrinda,tunga,raavi,shruti"
serif = "times new roman,angsana new,mingliu,simsun,gulimche,ms
gothic,kartika,latha,mangal,gautami,vrinda,tunga,raavi,shruti"
mono = "courier new,lucida console,courier
monothai,mingliu,simsun,gulimche,ms
gothic,kartika,latha,mangal,gautami,vrinda,tunga,raavi,shruti"
monospace = "courier new,lucida console,courier
monothai,mingliu,simsun,gulimche,ms
gothic,kartika,latha,mangal,gautami,vrinda,tunga,raavi,shruti"
