If you are not able
to view Devanagari characters properly, please download the
fonts by clicking here.
Save the fonts in a
convenient folder.
Go to <Control
Panel>. Double-click <Fonts>. In the <File Menu> select
<Install New Fonts>. Select the path where the downloaded
fonts are stored. Select the fonts and click <OK>.
There are 2 parts of the setup.
- Having a Unicode Capable Browser
- Having the Fonts
Mac OSX
- Safari: I use Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and the
handling of indian scripts in Safari (the browser that
comes with it) is amazingly flawless.
- Firefox: Unfortunately Indic rendering of Firefox on
Mac OS X is not up to the mark yet. It does display
Indic script but there are many rendering bugs esp. with
matras.
- The Indic fonts are not installed by default. To
install Indic fonts you have to start running setup from
the installation DVD and choose custom installation mode
and select Indic fonts (I only vaguely remember how I
did this so use your brain more actively on this one).
- TODO: Write more precise font installation
instructions.
In Finder, browse to /Volumes/<Install/Restore
Disk>/System/Installation/Packages/ (use the terminal.app
to verify the paths on your system since they don't show
up in Finder. Install the AdditionalFonts.pkg and
AdditionalAsianFonts.pkg and they should work just fine.
This is where we install Complex Scripts in
Windows XP & 2003
This is where we setup for Indic options for
Windows 2000
MS Windows
- यदि आप हिन्दी पढ़ने का प्रयास कर रहे हैं, इंटरनेट
एक्सप्लोरर सबसे सही सेवाएं प्रदान करता है ।
- If you are attemping to read Hindi, Internet
Explorer offers the most accurate rendering.
- Mozilla Firefox supports most Indic languages. Hindi
(Devanagari) rendering on Firefox is currently quite
satisfactory, although there are a few placement quirks.
If rendering in Firefox appears to be incorrect, please
ensure that complex script support has been installed
(see below).
- यदि आप हिन्दी पढने का प्रयास कर रहे है, तो ओपेरा का
उप्योग न करे क्योन्की ओपेरा मे, मात्राओ का विभाजन सही
प्रकार मे नही होता है । उदाहरणत:, 'हिन्दी', 'हनिदी' जैसा
दिखाई पड्ता है ।
- Opera is not recommended for Hindi scripts, as it
mixes the 'matraas' (vowels) in a strange pattern. For
example, 'Hindi' is read as 'Hanidi'.
- Indic fonts are not installed by default on Windows.
If you have a version of Windows that supports Indic
languages, you can install the Unicode fonts / complex
script support needed as follows:
Windows XP:
- Go to Start > Control Panel > Date, Time, Language,
and Regional Options
- Select "Add other languages"
- Check "Install files for complex script..."
- Click OK, and insert your Windows CD if prompted
Windows 2000:
- Go to Start > Control Panel > Regional Options
- Select "Add other languages"
- Check "Indic"
- Click OK, and insert your Windows CD if prompted
(restart might be required)

GNU/Linux
- pango enabled firefox does provide good indic fonts
support.In
Debian GNU/Linux Iceweasel provides the best indic
rendition.
