Tamil fonts not displayed properly in browsers.. in linux..

Once i came to know about tamil lyricist Arivumathi's blog.  So, i open it in my browser but tamil fonts are not shown properly.  The fonts are either like a rectangle or torn.  I try to see the blogpost in tamil properly, and atlast i got the following solution..
