Daily Thanthi not readable on www.news.google.com

I like daily thanthi.
But this paper insists on download of Tamil Font to read the online paper.
Cant do so at my office.
So at my office i am not able to read this paper through google news site.
Unfortunately most of the news.google.com news aggregates are for Daily Thanthi in Tamil.
Appealed to news.google.com to post only UNICODE TAMIL UTF-8 font supported tamil news sites in the news sources hyperlink at www.news .google.com
this way, i can read Tamil even at office, no need to download font and read tamil news.
Daily Thanthi people should realise it is high time they changed the font to world standard - that is UTF-8 Tamil Unicode font.
that way they can retain online viewers of tamil news.
i think due to this small issue, many people are forced to love, read other papers like Dinakaran, Dinamani, Dinamalar etc....
But tamil.webdunia.com and tamil.oneindia.com sites also provide very fast, good, easily readable format tamil news in unicode.
Also nakkeeran.com and many other lankan tamil sites are good for tamil news.
Hope this blog will change the mindset of Daily Thanthi people and provide LOCAL TAMIL NEWS in unicode.
Google, please encourage unicode news papers. not others. Thanks.
