Why am I not able to view Indian text properly?

All Indic text (Indian Language content) is published using the Unicode standard encoding in UTF-8 which is an internationally accepted standard for publishing text on the web and other media.

Indic scripts require special handling and rendering software to be installed on the client (reader)’s machine to display the text correctly. Most modern operating systems have this feature installed by default. However there may be some cases where the user may have the activate this functionality on his/her machine manually.

Windows family of operating systems support this feature since Windows version 2000. Windows Vista has CTL functionality enabled by default.

Detailed description and instructions of enabling CTL and ironing out issues related to Indian languages may be obtained from wikipedia’s informative article on the subject located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Multilingual_support_(Indic)

Additionally for optimal display of content, readers are advised to download the following fonts on their system.

Note: Shruti font ships with Windows XP and Arial Unicode MS ships with Microsoft Office respectively. Thus these are not available for seperate download due to copyright and other licensing issues.

 
  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
  • If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
