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.

 
  • Weapons do not cut This (Atma); nor does fire does burn It. Water does not wet (nor drown) nor does wind dry It. This (Atma) cannot be slain, nor burnt, nor wetted, nor dried up. It is changeless, all-pervading, stable, immovable and eternal. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • Do not be proud of wealth, people (relations and friends), and youth. All these are snatched by Time in the blink of an eye. Giving up this illusory world, know and attain the Supreme. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Mohamudgara

  • By God’s grace, we have obtained a human birth, the power of discrimination and someone to teach us about the ultimate, truth. If we still remain lazy, we will be wasting a marvelous opportunity. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • No man is omniscient. Hence man should not have the ego that he knows all. It is ego that leads man astray and drives him to commit sins. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
