Dear Simos,
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick help.

Not only does the text overflow in Opera and Firefox, they do not render the 
text correctly. I now realise from another source that this is the problem with 
both the browser, as they do not support Open Type. Internet Explorer does 
support Open Type so the problem is not that serious for time being.

Currently, I am interested in just posting my entries in Gujarati. I do not 
need to modify/edit my Word Press setup, as at least IE users can read my blog 
correctly.

However, I would like to participate in localisation process of Word Press, and 
would like to work on translation/localisation process simultaneously. I want 
to encourage non English content on the net especially for my community. I have 
downloaded PoEdit. Can you guide me to any document on WP Codex which 
specifies/guides localisation of WordPress?

Regards,
-hemang
