Eenadu 2 UTF

Eenadu is one of the most read news papers in Telugu. The online edition of the paper is at http://www.eenadu.net/. Don’t worry if you cannot read it, the site currently uses a strange
encoding, which can probably only be displayed using the "eenadu" font which is downloadable from the site. There is a huge telugu corpus going waste in a proprietary encoding! huh!

Apart from a few other things, this was one that kept me busy for the last week, finally after hacking the font, and reverse engineering their encoding, I could create a script/program that converts a given html page from eenadu.net to a UTF-8 encoded web page.

For now, the script can probably be used only to convert pages one after other, but if every thing goes right, it should be possible to convince the eenadu team to migrate to unicode… Hope it turns out this way!!!
