##H1. Connecting with your audience As it stands, the vast majority of our readers are outside the USA, especially in Russia and India. So we'll start this post by talking about how to use a Devanagari font on a PC. It's not complicated, but it is worth a quick explanation for those who haven't done it before! The first step is to find a good font. Over the past few weeks I've been testing out different fonts from Google's webfont directory. I finally settled on 'Kalinga'. The second step is using PIL/Python to install that font as a TrueType Font (. ttf file). PIL is an essential part of the Fedora install, so you might want to install it first. The third step is using that font on your computer. The first thing to ask yourself is if the font will be suitable for blog posts. If you're just planning blog posts in English, then yes, it's totally fine to use this font! However, if you are planning any blog posts in Hindi or Russian, then I would recommend changing fonts altogether - click on 'Design -> Font Style' and select 'Comic Sans MS'. This is the default font used to type comic books. It's very readable on screen, even in small chunks of text. The next thing to consider is how to type Devanagari on a Roman keyboard, especially if you're planning to type Hindi or Nepali. The consonants are easy - just hit 'Ctrl + Alt + Shift' and the letters will pop up over your Roman keyboard! The vowels are slightly trickier. I'm trying to work out how to do this, but one short-term solution is using the Dictionaries toolbar on Firefox or Chrome - simply start typing in English using the Kalinga font, then select the appropriate Devanagari words from the drop-down button in Chrome or Firefox! #H2. Spreading the word At the moment, I've got a small blog up at http://www.chinnapu.com. This blog will cover a wide range of issues from computer science to Hinduism to my family travels in India and Nepal. I'll be working on it for a long time to go ahead, and I will eventually translate it into English. That's partially why I decided to blog in the first place - to help support me and my family financially. Spreading the word is important because I think it will reach a large audience of international readers who will be interested in my "Trip Report", which is currently only available in Hindi. In India, there are so many languages people can communicate with, but unfortunately many of them are not as well known as English. 67cfa1e7782037
