About the mozilla indic display on Windows xp:
It would work fine only if you have the Indian langauge pack installed. Not
otherwise.
Currently the only two ways (that I know) to make mozilla display indic
characters properly are:
1. on Winxp with the Indian langauge pack installed.
2. on linux with Indix installed.

This was about mozilla. Apart from mozilla, the other ways are:
1. IE 5 and above - win98 and upwards.

So, what this means in effect is, that IE5 will display indic properly on a non
xp windows machine, but not mozilla.

Mozilla being a crossplatform browser, it would be a good thing if it has in
built indic rendering support - that way we're enabling indic support for the
browsers for win*, *nix and mac in one shot.

Just my Rs. 1.00 == 2c.
