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. Anand Shankar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote [CC'ing LIH] Abhi> viewing diff. web-sites.

Even if that doesn't kill the server it's still a non-optimal solution since (e.g.) you can't cut and paste text from the site. Regards, -- Raju Abhi> greetings !!
