Hello I am running slackware 9.0 distribution of linux with XFree86 4.3.0 on a PC with Cyrix M II processor. Web sites with content in the language Marathi (an indic language) do not display correctly using either Netscape of Konqueror. Even when I install the fonts. http://www.marathiworld.com [ uses MARmith0.ttf ] http://www.esakal.com [ uses subak.ttf and subak1.ttf] http://www.maharashtratimes.indiatimes.com [ uses sudipto.ttf ] Content on these web-sites uses 8-bit fonts (which is true of most of Marathi web-sites. They do not use Unicode fonts) But mkfontscale reports some of these fonts as having iso10646 encoding which must be an error. For the first web-site only square blocks are displayed (maybe the font matches, but X is not able to render them ?) For the other two web-sites the font probably is not matched because it shows a lot of little square blocks. Any help would be immensely appreciated. I have been trying various things for several days without success. Thanks and regards -Prasad _________________________________________________________________ Attention NRIs!
