Also I need to convert the .ttf  files of my language fonts to the format
allegro library can use. I donot understand how to use ttf2pcx and grabber
utility combination. 
Help please ..
 
This is quite easy - go to windows paint and draw a grid on the screen,
against a black background:

:-----:----:...
:     :    :
:-----:----:...

Now, just place every character of the ttf font in these cells, in ASCII
table sequence - look at any ascii table to find the sequence, moving from
the top left cell to the bottom right. Save this file and load it into the
grabber as a font - I do not know how this will apply to tamil though.
