Anek Tamil is a font you can install on a Mac.

About

Anek Tamil is a typeface listed in Google Fonts. The Homebrew cask installs one font file, AnekTamil[wdth,wght].ttf, in the user’s ~/Library/Fonts folder. Its filename identifies width and weight as variable font axes; the supplied package details do not specify the available axis ranges or character coverage.

  • This is a font, not an application.
  • The cask installs the single file AnekTamil[wdth,wght].ttf.
  • The destination is ~/Library/Fonts.

Install it with brew install --cask font-anek-tamil. After installation, select Anek Tamil in the font menu of an application that supports installed fonts. The package does not specify particular compatible applications.

The cask provides this specific font file; it does not establish that other Anek Tamil styles or files are installed. The available evidence also does not establish full Unicode coverage or ligature support.
