A big prob For me(Font Problem)

Hello,
I was trying to make a website in hindi(indian language).
I have seen many times that as we go to a URL a pop up comes for installing something for viewing the page.
I am wondering if anyone can help me how to do that.
There is a font available that will make it possible for all to view the site in hindi language. But i want that font to automatically install(after user permission ofcourse) to visitors pc.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Thnx minstrel,for your good response,
i done everything but still that is not working..So i am going to write my problem discriptivly. first i doen these things..
1) Firstly i run that Microsoft WEFT software.and dont evrything according to me through software.
2) this software generate two fonts files in my site folder.
3) I paste this code in my script

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!-- /* $WEFT -- Created by: My name(My email add.) on 2/23/2006 -- */
@font-face {
font-family: Ankit;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(http://www.mysitename.net/ANKIT0.eot);
}
-->
</STYLE>

But ........still the result is Zero

So any one tell me that what i done is wrong or i left somthing there in coad?

 

I've never tried to do this myself, since I think many people will be reluctant to permit a download of the font. In your case, I can see the point, though.

Here is a site that does use thwe WEFT technology: http://www.majorgeeks.com/

Take a look at that site using "View source" to see how they do it.

<style type="text/css">
BODY {
	SCROLLBAR-BASE-COLOR: #999966;
	SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #FFF788;
}
<!--
A:link {text-decoration: none; color: #6B5300;}
A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: #6B5300;}
A:hover {text-decoration:  underline overline;}

.news A:link {text-decoration: none; color: #6B5300;}
.news A:visited {text-decoration: none; color: #6B5300;}
.news A:hover {text-decoration: underline overline;}

.Navlink {COLOR: #cccc99; TEXT-DECORATION: none; font-family: verdana; font-size: 8pt; font-weight: bold;}
a:link.Navlink  {color : #cccc99;}
a:visited.Navlink  {color : #cccc99;}
a:active.Navlink  {text-decoration: none;}
a:hover.Navlink  {text-decoration: none; color: #6B5300;}

.sten { font-family: "Stencil"; font-size: 3pt; }

  @font-face {
    font-family: Stencil;
    font-style:  normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    src: url(STENCIL3.eot);
  }
-->


-->
</style>

Code (markup):

The major difference I see is in the SRC line.

You use the full path:

src: url(http://www.mysitename.net/ANKIT0.eot);

Code (markup):

They use the relative path:

src: url(STENCIL3.eot);

Code (markup):

Perhaps that makes a difference?
