to install support for Hindi. Normally Windows includes support for Hindi but it
may need to be installed which is quite easy and should take only a few seconds.
Unicode is the standard today for implementing most of the major languages on
computers. It is a part of most of the recent
versions of software from industry leaders, like Sun's Unix, Linux,
Microsoft's Windows and so on. Most browsers are equipped to display Unicode
text. Thus, hindi written in Unicode is viewable on any computer, whatever the
operating system, and it is not dependent on any single font alone.
Installing support for Hindi on your computer
Note: You must have IE (version 5.5 or above), or
Netscape (version 4 or above) or latest versions of any of the other browsers
like Opera, Mozilla etc. which support unicode.
Please select your operating system, for the appropriate section :-
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows 98/95
