think ur self win expert.

I have visited www.dainikjagran.com (*us.jagran.com/home.asp) and I donot have any hindi font on my system but still complete site open in hindi why?
i have win xp with sp2.

It's posible to view text in hindi without Hindi Fonts ...
It's like this ... "जागरण" .It's written in unicode.
Probably the site uses unicode ...

But .. it's kinda wierd ..
The site opened normally in IE ..
but in Firefox ... I had to install the "jagran" font from website to render it normally.

I don't think the page uses unicode ... it seems to be using EOT (embedable open type) fonts which are perhaps supported only on internet explorer. It does not display correctly on opera or any other browser I tried.

Oh wait here is something about EOT and other embedded fonts -

nice work dude !!
But is there any other method which will work in all browsers?

Happy Diwali !

@ujjwal ,I think the page uses unicode , some time back when i posted abt how to write msg's in hindi in digit forum , i posted some sample in unicode hindi which firefox users were not able to see properly.

See the thread here

I think we can see HINDI fonts in firefox too w/o installing fonts, by selecting:

View -> Character Encoding -> More Encodings -> SE & SW Asians -> Hindi ( MacDevanagari )

Does it work? I hv never checked it...

(for xp bcoz have only seen in it for else try ur self.)

it uses mangal font

goto to x:\windows\fonts
u will see mangal font, it is a universal font use by windows for devnagri script that how using u can send/read IM in hindi(My last question that no one able to give answer.)
My netscape shows it in hindi i don't know why firefox, etc don't do it.

well but the real headache thing is u just cant type in mangal that actualy i wan to find out, go ahead try it I m sure u will be suprise.

if u can type in mangal(at lest ur name or) plz plz do tell me how.

It uses EOT as Ujjwal already pointed out .. You can check their CSS which says:

Code:

  @font-face {
    font-family: Jagran;
    font-style:  normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    src: url(*us.jagran.com/eot/JAGRAN3.eot);
  }
  @font-face {
    font-family: Jagran;
    font-style:  oblique;
    font-weight: normal;
    src: url(*us.jagran.com/eot/JAGRAN2.eot);
  }
  @font-face {
    font-family: Jagran;
    font-style:  normal;
    font-weight: 700;
    src: url(*us.jagran.com/eot/JAGRAN1.eot);
  }
  @font-face {
    font-family: Jagran;
    font-style:  oblique;
    font-weight: 700;
    src: url(*us.jagran.com/eot/JAGRAN0.eot);

EOT is not supported by FireFox and that's why its not being displayed correctly ..
