(Kṛṣṇa’s mercy!) This website uses Sanskrit diacritics with no special font required. It uses the “Segoe UI” font. “Segoe UI” displays 30 out of the 31 standard ISKCON Sanskrit diacritic characters correctly using Firefox 2, and all 31 correctly using Internet Explorer or Firefox 3. If you are using Microsoft Vista and/or Microsoft Office 2007, then you already have this font installed. Otherwise, download and install “SegoeUI.zip” (974 KB). If you don’t have the “Segoe UI” font installed, then the “Tahoma” font is used instead. The versions of both the Tahoma and the Microsoft Sans Serif fonts which come with Microsoft Vista and the latest versions of Windows XP display 30 out of the 31 diacritic characters correctly. To get enhanced versions of the Tahoma font, the Microsoft Sans Serif font, and the Lucida Sans Unicode font which display all 31 diacritic characters correctly on all web browsers, download and install “fonts.zip” (702 KB - Updated: August 3, 2006).
