Off Topic: Indic Support in Firefox

A lot sites use proprietary Indic fonts on their websites e.g. Hindustan Dainik. It was a pain to view these if you were using Firefox browser, having to launch the site in IE. Now there is a plug-in that will allow conversion of proprietary fonts to public formats.

From their website

Padma is a technology for transforming Indic text between public and proprietary formats. The technology currently supports Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Devanagari (including Marathi), Gujarati, Bengali, and Gurmukhi.

Install from here.
