i frequently visit the following site through IE

*www.abhivyakti-hindi.org/kahaniyan/

I am able to view this site in hindi in IE, but if i open this site in Firefox or Netscape it appears in english fonts only (so unreadable) plz check and find me the solution to view it in hindi in firefox.

Thanks

Make sure the fonts required are installed properly and now try differnet encodings. One of them ought to work. A good way to start is the Western (ISO-8859-1)
