Umm, I'm not clear: either the fonts are on the server or they are on
my system. Which of the two?

They show junk in Times Roman here, or in Devnagri if I set the
encoding to User-defined (perhaps I fiddled around too much with
Netscape last night).
Arvind> you dont have to download any font.

'Scool, I can translate `Punarapi janamam, punarapi maranan, punarapi
janani yathare sharnam' with the best of them :-) *Phew, saved my
daughter for yet another day!*
Arvind> the english version is not very correct.
