Problem viewing Indic scripts on Firefox
It has been couples of weeks since my interest & love for mother tongue - Gujarati, is gaining momentum. Throughout my childhood literature has always attracted me. I took extra classes to learn Hindi & Sanskrit in depth. But as I got into higher grades pressure mounted to concentrate on chief subjects - Geometry, Trigonometry, Chemistry, Biology etc etc. And, the days came when I used to touch language subjects on exam days! The situation became worst during graduation & post graduation. I don’t recollect if during those 6 years I have read any other book - be it a poem compilation, novel, self-help, classics.
After so many years of hibernation, my deep liking for language has surfaced. Thanks to the “blog-world”. So many good “Gujju” blogs are floating around. It’s a real pleasure to read them. As I was going through them, I noticed that they are not being rendered properly on Mozilla browser - Firefox running on Windows XP Pro with SP2. When I tried with IE 6, it is working all fine. A quick search on net gave me the solution.
It is very simple -
- Go to Control Panel -> Regional & Language Options.
- Select “Languages” tab.
- Check the checkbox in front of “Install files for complex scripts and right-to-left languages [including Thai]“.
- A dialog box will po-up. Press OK.
- It will install some OS files and ask you to restart.
Bingo! You are done. For details you can check here.
