[Wikimediaindia-l] Looking for Devanagri help - windows this time .

[BalaSundaraRaman]

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.

 "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for 
the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted."
- George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture
