How to install Foradian Rupee ttf Font in Linux

New Rupee Font works perfectly in Linux (Fedora 13. It should work on other flavours also).
Instructions for installing Rupee ttf file in Linux:
First of all Download the file from Foradian Blog.

For instructions on how to use this symbol you can get it from this blog http://blog.foradian.com/rupee-font-version-20

As root user from the command line
1. Create a directory with "mkdir /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/" (without quotes) if it does not exists.
2. Move the downloaded .ttf file to the above directory.
3. Issue this command ttmkfdir > fonts.dir
Thats it. Now open the " OpenOffice Writer" and Select the "Fordian Rupee" from the dropdown menu.

Online Compiler

Once I was googling around for some logic in the internet. Finally I got the logic and at the same time there was code for it. I thought there is some mistake in the code. There was no compiler in the machine I was working. So I searched for an online compiler. I could not find one, but recently I found the link in one of the blogs I was following. I thought of sharing this valuable website with you as you also may come across such situations. The credit goes to the post of "5 cool websites" from beingPC.com

The website is www.ideone.com In this website you need to compose or copy-paste the code to compile. It is an online compiler and debugging tool which allows to compile more than 40 programming languages. You can make your code public for others to use of private for your own use. You can be able to give input from an input box provided. Every code will be given an unique link so that you can make use of it again.

There are two important links, one is samples and the other is recent pastes where you can get to know about the different coding sytanx of different languages.

Because of this website I got to know many types of programming languages, especially the whitespace and brain*** programming language. Pretty interesting ones. Do have a check on it.

Limitations of this compiler:

·         Compilation time: 10 seconds,

·         Execution time: 5 seconds,

·         Memory usage: 256 MB.

One more online compiler I came across is www.codepad.com not as good as ideone.com
