Do you see boxes, or junk characters, when you go to the NISD Hindi Website ?
If you see junk characters, set the View->Encoding to UTF-8. You'll start
seeing the Hindi characters, or boxes. If you see boxes, it means the browser is
not able to find a UTF-8 encoded font to display the characters, so it just
replaces the missing "glyphs" or shape , with boxes.
It is not able to find the font because the font is not installed on the machine. If this is the case, you can install the
font using our attached font installer (Mangal_setup.EXE). After running the installer, you will have the font 'Mangal' in your Windows Fonts
folder.
 Download Mangal_setup.exe
The script-encoding-font mapping is not set in the browser. What you can do
to resolve this:
For IE
go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Fonts. Choose devanagari
from the list and click on any one of the fonts that appear in the box(es)
below. If no fonts appear in the list(happens sometimes) come out anyway,
refresh the Hindi page . You should be able to see it now. If not, close the
browser windows and reopen them, if even that doesn't work, reboot and try
again. But most cases you won't have to go that far.
For Mozilla
go to Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts and set
the font to raghu/raghindi.
