| Q | A | |---|---| | Is Senthamil the same as “Bamini” or “Tamil MN”? | No. Senthamil is a modern Unicode Tamil font. Bamini is an older non‑Unicode “legacy” font with a custom encoding, while Tamil MN is a system font on macOS. | | Can I use Senthamil for a commercial logo? | Yes, under the OFL you can use it for logos, branding, printed ads, etc. Just keep the attribution somewhere in the project documentation (e.g., “Senthamil font – © S. M. Karthik, licensed under OFL‑1.1”). | | Will the font work on older Android devices (pre‑4.0)? | The TTF is fully compatible with Android’s text rendering engine, but older Android versions may not support certain OpenType features (e.g., advanced GSUB). The basic glyphs will still display correctly. | | Do I need to embed the license file when distributing a PDF created with Senthamil? | Not required for PDFs, but it’s good practice to include a short attribution note in the PDF metadata or a “Credits” page. | | What if I want a heavier weight (Bold) or a condensed version? | Senthamil only ships in a single regular weight. For bold or condensed styles you can either: 1) apply synthetic bold/outline in your layout software, or 2) pair it with another Tamil Unicode font that offers multiple weights (e.g., Noto Sans Tamil). | | Font Name | Style | License |

The Senthamil font family was developed during the early days of desktop publishing (DTP) in Tamil Nadu. Before Unicode became the standard (around 2005-2010), every software developer created their own encoding system (often called TAB or TAM fonts). The Senthamil family, including variants like Senthamil, Senthamil Bold, and STMZH 062, used a non-standard ASCII-based encoding.
