Excuse me if you've tried this already, but check whether the encoding is not Western or something. UTF-8 or, in the case of many sites, user-defined encoding works just fine. Please check http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=95290 for more info.
I'm not on Windows now, and hence, unable to go through the above process.

HI all, Because things are still a bit fresh in my mind, I tried to see how Indian languages performed both on windows box as well as on GNU/Linux.
This mail would talk only about windows xp while another mail would give the issues in GNU/Linux.
While I can't give screenshots atm, this is on a friend's system and he has the following browsers on the system :-
a. Mozilla Firefox 4.0b7 (beta) b. Chrome 8.0 (stable) c. Opera 11 (newly released)
We went through the whole she-bang at http://bit.ly/fCxKrf , also looked at the uniscribe stuff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniscribe saw the discussion at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Uniscribe#Uniscribe_version_in_SIL_FieldWo...
Also looked at http://www.catch22.net/tuts/neatpad/11
and were still scratching our heads as to why we weren't able to see Devanagri in Google Chrome.
We installed the font Rachana.
Then we rebooted and in Firefox it renders but Google Chrome not getting anything.
The USP.dll is at version 1.420.2600.2180 on my friend's system. This was done using the steps outlined at

and looking at the version numbers at
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Uniscri... s
Looking for answers - it was fun.
