Instructions for viewing these pages
If you have the Xdvng font installed you can use the "(xdvng)" link. Else, if your system supports fonts for the Unicode Standard  you can try the "(ucs)" link. In either case, remember to explicitly select UTF-8 encoding in your browser if you have difficultly seeing the glyphs. The Ghazal pages render correctly in Mozilla (and Netscape) but not in other browsers (notably Microsoft Internet Explorer). What can I say!?

I recommend the use of the shiDeva Unicode font for best results with the "(ucs)" pages.

Win2K/IE Help for UCS: If you are running Windows then you really need help - literally and figuratively ;-p Go to Control Panel -> Regional Options. Make sure that you have the Indic Language Pack installed. In addition, check that your Browser also supports the Indic languages and is configured to use a Unicode font (like Arial Unicode MS, Mangal, or Raghindi) for UTF-8 or Devnagari. That should do the trick.

Sorry that I cannot help Win98 folks on this :( Try installing the Hindi font provided by BBC Hindi.


If you are interested in knowing how I generated the UCS pages I've a description of my phonetic convention and the Lex parser that maps transliterated text to the devnAgarI UCS code points. All the language mappers that I've written for my phoentic convention are:

1. Devnagari
2. Bengali
3. Gurmukhi
4. Gujrati
5. Oriya

Sorry Ali :o)
