Hi, I want to create a webpage in Hindi. But, I do not want the user to have to specifically install a font. How do I make the page appear right for a non-English character set? Thanks Ajeet
Ajeet, I guess if you will make all pages of your site to be in UTF-8 encoding and add <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> into the html header, you will get the desired result.
Yes, I think that's all you have to do. Have a look at a page from my website which is in Chinese to see if you can view the characters without having to install anything. Laughter is the best medicine. PS: Please tell me if you can't view the characters, because then I guess just setting the character set to utf-8 is not enough.
I guess only title of the page is in wrong encoding, the rest looks perfectly chinese to me (see pic attached). By the way, have you considered having voice jokes rather just text? You can add a link to voice file after each joke and then a link to listen to all of them at once.
Can you tell me how I could go about doing that? Maybe PM me so that we don't 'hijack' this thread. Thanks.
And dont forget to just look for the best sites in Hindi and look at their code. They probably know what people have on their computers for fonts and the safest ways to do it.
