This site has Unicode encoded Bengali texts. If you cannot see the Bangla texts, then you would need to setup your computer for Unicode. Here is how to setup. You may also need to install a good Bangla Unicode font. We have modified the  publicly available Ekushey Lohit font for better screen reading. The new font, called AponaLohit looks almost like an Unicode compatible version of popular Boishakhi font. Download from here. You may wish to view the Bangla version of this site too.

Can't see or too small Bangla texts E-mail
This site has UNICODE encoded Bangla texts. If you are unable to view the Bangla contents or having any difficulty reading the texts, this article describes the way around. This article is deliberately in English only. If you cannot see the Bangla text pages properly there are few things you can do. Try the following in order:
  1. In your browser, set the Encoding to utf-8. For Internet Explorer this is found in View->Encoding  menu. In Firefix, you would find  View->Character Encoding. If this enables you to view the pages properly, you are done.
  2. If setp 1 doesnt solve the problem, you need to have Indic Language Support installed on your computer. Depending on the operating system of your computer the steps for installing the Indic Language support can be different. Some tutorials are available: Windows 200, XP SP1  and XP SP2. For Linux and MacOS similar procedure is involved. You may need to restart your computer after installing the support package.
  3. After step 2, you should see the web pages but may be with a small font size. If this the case, then you need a good font. This link has two free fonts you may try. After downloading and installing the fonts, you need to set your preferred font in the Browser settings. For IE, this is Tools->Internet Options, Fonts button in General Tab. From the dialog box, select Bengali as the language and the Font of your choice. Mukti looks best in my opinion. For Firefox, go to Tools->Options, then Advanced button in Content tab. Choose language, preferred font and encoding (utf-8).
  4. If you have performed all of the 3 steps still having no good luck, then I cant help you. If you were unable to complete the steps, it is time to upgrade your system.
