Hindi in Firefox


Recommended Posts

Hey,

I was wondering on how to install Asian languages in Firefox. When I read a East Indian news paper on IE7 it looks perfect. But on FF2 It looks like this;

You have to manually try different encodings under View, Character Encoding... I tried the one under More Encodings, SE & SW Asian (Hindi) on your webpage, it didn't seem to work for all characters.

The page is written horribly, it's telling the browser it's written in English.

IE is doing something else to use a proper font, Firefox isn't (and shouldn't have to, properly written pages work fine for me)

Edit: Quick work-around is to install this font: http://www.despardestimes.com/download.htm There is also a Firefox extension called Padma which can fix sites like this.
