Greetings!

I would like to know as to how we can make tamil .pdf documents with
LaTeX.  Currently running Ubuntu Dapper Beta on T41.

I have downloaded wntamil.zip which contains:

 readme.doc
 tamdict.tex
 tamdict.txt
 tamilize.c
 tamilmax.mf
 tamilmax.tex
 tamil.mf
 tmilize.c
 wntamil.mf
 wntml10.mf

I have been able to run mf on wntml10.mf and it
generates the characters and produces:

 wntml10.2602gf file.

I have also been able to compile tamilize.c (with gcc-4.0.3 on Ubuntu
Dapper Beta).

I would like to know as to what I should do next to produce tamil .pdf
files? I am a little lost.

The reference links:

Appreciate any feedback,

Thanks,

SK
