My father in law frequents a site http://www.anandabazar.com/ which used
dynamic fonts.  I have not, however, ever seen this work on Linux.

  Their help site doesn't help for Linux at all:  
http://www.anandabazar.com/no_bangla.htm

  Has anyone got these to work?


  I've recently installed RedHat 7.2 on a machine so it has Netscape,
Mozilla and Galeon installed, none of which load the font properly.


The tags are:


<link REL="FONTDEF"
SRC="http://www.anandabazar.com/fonts/aabpbengali.pfr";>

<link REL="FONTDEF"
SRC="http://www.anandabazar.com/fonts/aabpbengalix.pfr";>

<link REL="FONTDEF"
SRC="http://www.anandabazar.com/fonts/aabpbengalixx.pfr";>

and 

<font FACE="Aabpbengali">


The "How to use Dynamic Fonts"  page indicates that this format should
work in Netscape Communicator:

I have installed Netscape Communicator 4.78 

According to this page, the "Unix" version 4.03 may be the only version
that works:

  Unfortunately, that binary-only distribution is for Libc5 which I don't
have on any of my computers to even test.


  If you have a solution, an article describing this would make a good
addition to the website ;-)  Maybe if it is really well written that sites
like http://www.anandabazar.com/no_bangla.htm will just link to you.
