Hindi Font

There are two types of Hindi Devanagari pages on this site:  The first type are pages that display the Devanagari script in gif format (like a picture). This will display on Macintosh, Windows and UNIX platforms. The second are Unicode compliant pages which are theoretically viewable in any Unicode compliant application in a Unicode compliant operating system.  A Windows system later than Windows 2000 can be configured to display Devanagari Unicode text. The Indic Regional Settings must be activated.
