Font Issues and Resources

First you need to ensure that your web browser has unicode  (UTF-8) character encoding enabled.  In Firefox go to View->Character Encoding and select Unicode (UTF-8).  Take similar steps in other web browsers.

To display the devanāgarī script and transliterated Roman characters properly you will need to download an appropriate unicode font.   I highly recommend installing Gandhari Unicode which is freely available here.  This font works on PCs, Macs, and Linux/Unix boxes.  This is the primary font used at this site for displaying Indic characters.

This link will also take you to WAZU Japan's Gallery of Unicode Fonts where you can download an array of devanāgarī unicode fonts.
