Font Installation    If you have already installed ITranslator 99 tool on your system, you should not have any problems viewing the verses at our site in Devanagari and Roman fonts. Otherwise if you would like to read the verses in either Devanagari font or Romanized Sanskrit font, you need to install these special fonts into your system because they do not come by default for Windows based systems. We are using fonts developed by Omkarananda Ashram, Himalayas for Windows based Systems. However the installation process is fairly simple and it is a one time process. Please follow the following steps to install the fonts.

For Devanagari Fonts :
1. Download the file devanagari.zip  to your local hard disk. Unzip this zip file using Winzip or any other file compression utility to your hard disk to extract the file Sanskri New.ttf.
2. Go to Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Fonts. Choose File --> "Install New Font" from the menu.
3. In the dialog box, go to the directory to which you extracted Sanskrit New.ttf from Step 1.  The font should get loaded as Sanskrit New (True Type). Select this font and click OK.
This will install the font needed by you for viewing the verses in Devanagari script.

For Romanized Sanskrit Fonts :
1. Download the file Translit98.zip  to your local hard disk. Unzip this zip file using Winzip or any other file compression utility to your hard disk to extract the files Trans98b.ttf, Trans98n.ttf, Trans98i.ttf, Trans98t.ttf.
2. Go to Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Fonts. Choose File --> "Install New Font" from the menu.
3. In the dialog box, go to the directory to which you extracted the files from Step 1.  The font should get loaded as Translit 98 (True Type). Select this font and click OK.
 
This will install the font needed by you for viewing the verses in Romanized Sanskrit script.
 
Important information for Internet Explorer 5.0 users
Please note that at this time, IE 5.0 does not seem to render the Sanskrit font properly. If you do not see the Sanskrit font properly with IE 5.0, you will have to choose "User Defined" encoding. You can set the encoding by choosing from the menu of Internet Explorer 5.0, View -> Encoding -> More -> User Defined  or View -> Encoding -> User Defined. If you are however, using IE 4.0 and below or Netscape, you do not need to go through this process. Best browsers for viewing the Sanskrit font accurately seem to be Netscape 3.0 and above, and IE 4.0. We would appreciate if you would let us know any problems you notice with the Sanskrit font.
