As far as I know, one cannot encode ascii text in any Unix-like environments, including GNU/Linux systems. But there is a method to display ml-tt karthika font (which uses UTF-8 / ISO-8859-1 code base) inside your G/L distro.
Here is the steps *Prerequisites* 1. Payyans must be installed [Link<http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/smc/payyans/> ] 2. iconv [Convert encoding of given files from one encoding to another] [This will be already installed in your system] *Steps* > Type the text in unicode [In any method such as Manglish or Inscript] > Convert the text from Unicode to ascii with payyans with the following command Command format: payyans -i unicodefile.txt -m fontmap.map -o asciifile.txt -d u2a Path extplained : payyans -i /[path]/[folder]/filename.txt -m /usr/share/payyans/maps/karthika.map -o /[path]/[folder]/asciifile.txt -d u2a > iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 /[path]/[folder]/asciifile.txt > /home/tom/Desktop/asciifileFinal.txt Note: Some letters in ml-kathika such as "nda (ണ്ട)" as in വെണ്ടയ്ക്ക / ചെണ്ട may not be displayed.
