Thats a million-dollar question. Only way out is to switch over to Unicode, encourage 
non-English websites to use unicode.Problem is to make Windows9x users, see Hindi from 
Unicode Pages, though a shareware font CODE2000.TTF helps resolve the problem to some 
extent.

For Devanagari, a Unicode font (raghu.ttf) can be found at 
http://rohini.ncst.ernet.in/indix . You can understand why we need Unicode for such 
applications, also from the same page. Sample Linux applications done in Hindi are 
also there.

Specifically on the subject, you may refer to the presentation by Dr Pavanaja, 
available for download from Linux-Bangalore-2001 site. I was present in this session, 
which gave good insights on this issue.

I am not sure about Webdunia fonts, being Unicode compatible. I trust they should be, 
as they are probably working on some such project with Microsoft.
