The font will be there in the
package/Fontsfolder. It is the one you extracted, not the Windows fonts folder. You need to copy it to the Windows Fonts folder. (4 and 5 steps in the post.Veeven | 12:06 am on the 7th of October, 2007

You can copy Telugu text from websites, if the text is in Unicode. And, the Telugu newspapers’ web sites do not use Unicode. So, the copied text will be shown as junk characters.
But, you can copy the Telugu text from websites that offer it in Unicode into any application that supports Unicode. Microsoft Office supports Unicode. (Make sure you have latest version.) And if you are using Windows XP (or lesser version), enable support for Telugu.
Sites that offer Telugu content in Unicode include Telugu Wikipedia, and Telugu blogs found on Koodali.

@PRASAD,
Those that you see in newspapers are commercial fonts. One needs to buy them. You can get some free Telugu Unicode fonts from here: http://www.ildc.in/Telugu/TLindex.aspx
