Once TrueType fonts are installed properly, there is no
problem using them in Abiword, GNumeric or KOffice. However,
StarOffice needs Type 1 fonts. (I hear the latest StarOffice
supports TrueType fonts?). You can expect Type 1 Tamil fonts to
be available shortly:-).
For receiving and sending email, KMail works well with
TrueType fonts. You should also be able to use PINE with
Sivaraj's console fonts and utils.
